There were also times Enron found a little government intervention came in handy. When India delayed approval of Enron's $3 billion power plant in Dabhol in 1996, Clinton White House counselor Mack McLarty instructed the U.S. ambassador in New Delhi to monitor it and gave regular progress reports to Enron chairman Ken Lay. (Four days before the project received its final O.K., Enron gave $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee.) And when Enron was trying to sell its interest in the Indian project, the New York Daily News reported, Vice President Dick Cheney raised the issue...
...officer was a lifeline, helping choreograph all the different pieces of a parolee's haphazard life. When Fedrick started her career 12 years ago, she had 35 cases. She used to drive parolees to job interviews and treatment programs; she would also refer them to an in-house employment counselor and a psychologist. But those jobs have been cut, and she has 75 cases. "The only time we pick people up now is to take them to Rikers [Island]," she says...

But thanks to the bumblings of his absent-minded guidance counselor, the wrong transcript gets mailed to the prestigious university, and Shaun tastes the bitterness of rejection. Not one to concede without a fight, he resolves to do whatever it takes to get himself into the school of his dreams...
...filled to the brim with comedic heavyweights. Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone) plays Shaun’s emotional unstable and marginally alcoholic mother; John Lithgow (Terms of Endearment) plays Shaun’s disapproving and unaffectionate father; and Lily Tomlin (Tea With Mussolini) plays the incompetent guidance counselor. And these are just a few of the esteemed names that grace the supporting cast. Jack Black (Shallow Hal) is an absolute riot as Lance, Shaun’s deadbeat but caring brother, and Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters) gives a memorable performance as the Stanford admissions officer who has an accidental...
