The first chairman of the Securities & Exchange Commission, William 0. Douglas, once said that the agency should always keep "a well-oiled shotgun in the corner" to use on miscreants. Douglas' embattled 25th successor, Harvey L. Pitt, has more reason than most to remember that. For Pitt, Stephen M. Cutler is that shotgun. As director of the SEC'S Enforcement Div., Cutler is the top cop on what's now Washington's highest-profile beat. But his toughest task isn't just catching those responsible for such high-profile financial failures as Enron Corp. and Global Crossing Ltd. Cutler also has to convince skeptical investors and hang-'em-high lawmakers that the SEC can restore confidence in Corporate America. That means overcoming the strong impression―created by Pitt's stumbling start and the Bush White House's stinginess―that his bosses would rather let the SEC'S shotgun rust.
