Seven years after their dubious lending practices helped push the United States economy to the brink of disaster, the nation's largest banks are closing in on a long-sought goal to unseat Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage finance giants, and capture their share of the profits in the country's $5.7 trillion home loan market, Gretchen Morgenson reports on nytimes.com.
