...varying nature of their departures has grabbed the attention of Republican Congressman Richard Baker, who chairs a House financial-services subcommittee. Sources tell TIME that Baker has demanded documents in searching for clues that the two execs not fired were given an easy out. (Brendsel stands to collect $24.3 million severance; Clarke's package was not disclosed.) Glenn is the only executive specifically implicated so far. Freddie Mac says he refused to cooperate with the internal probe and at one point ripped pages out of a diary.

He collected the rebound that Danis could not hold and skated around behind the net, emerging on the other side to fire another shot towards the Brown goalie. Again Danis blocked Moore’s shot, but again he failed to collect the loose puck. Moore scooped it up once again, circled the net a second time, and emerged to wrist...
...study represents the latest findings to incorporate the Nurses’ Health Study—a set of data collected on 120,000 female nurses nationwide from 1976 to the present—and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, a counterpart data set begun in 1986 to collect information on about 50,000 male health care professionals...
