Confrontational Tactics Help Gain Attention for Housing Advocate

Bruce Marks, chief executive of the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, a nonprofit group in Boston that helps people avoid foreclosure, employs some unorthodox tactics in furthering his cause, reports National Public Radio.

Mr. Marks, who has been called a “bank terrorist,” has camped out on the front lawns of bank CEO’s, made big scenes at their country clubs, and dug into their personal lives to embarrass them when they or their companies have, in his view, behaved unethically, reports the radio station.
