...could convict the firm for shredding documents during the government's investigation of Enron even if Andersen employees believed they were not breaking the law. And Bernie Ebbers, former CEO of WorldCom, convicted last year on fraud charges in the financial collapse of the telecommunications company, is basing his appeal on similar jury instructions. In his trial, Ebbers testified he didn't know fraud was taking place. The jury was told he could be found guilty if he was suspicious of fraud but consciously avoided finding...
...While political groups like the Undergraduate Council (UC), the Institute of Politics, the Dems and others would have trouble mimicking the appeal of single-race or single-gender groups, they would do well to look to examples of initiatives that have successfully drawn students who generally avoid political groups to invest in their cause.

In the 1930s, Hitler also achieved democratic election by appealing to the populace with the same form of mass appeal. Let's hope the U.N. and the E.U. will not become emasculated appeasers. It would be an exercise in futility to negotiate with enemies who are intractable in their determination to destroy Israel. Harry Grunstein Hampstead, Quebec, Canada...
...usually thinking about marriage when they cruise the dark, surprisingly dank bars of Capitol Hill. If they consider--however dimly--the consequences of these more brief entanglements, they aren't thinking in terms of securing earmarks so much as they are of securing company for the night. Sheer physical appeal (and proximity) may be what accounts for most of the attraction, but neither the youthful carousers nor the not-so-youthful ones would be in the District if they weren't also interested in playing a, well, deeper game. This is not to say that someone's power or influence...
