The President has picked Representative Christopher Cox of California, a former corporate lawyer and staunch supporter of business interests, to replace Donaldson. Cox will come under pressure from the business lobby to dilute a measure in Sarbanes-Oxley that requires that firms institute strong internal financial controls and have auditors assess their adequacy. "It has turned into a boondoggle for the accounting industry," contends John Berlau, a fellow at the pro-business Competitive Enterprise Institute, who cites an American Electronics Association study that put the cumulative costs of complying in the first year alone...
...credit--or blame, as some still see it--for precipitating Nixon's August 1974 resignation belongs as well to other journalists who doggedly pursued the story; to U.S. District Court Judge John Sirica, who pressed participants in the break-in to confess Administration involvement; to special prosecutors Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski, who stood firm against White House interference; to the Senators and Representatives whose questioning on television brought the Administration's dirty dealings to public light; to the Supreme Court, which ruled that a President was not above the law when he tried to hide damning tape recordings confirming...

Without any drawing skills, the actress began sponging the canvas with paint, from which figures began emerging - "like you see faces in cloud formations," she recalls. Eighteen months and 63 canvases later, McKenzie has painted up her own little universe, from street urchins to femme fatales...
Bloggers are all the rage, but some tipping point of self-absorption may have been reached with BLOGEBRITY, a new site toasting the blogosphere's in crowd. The site's two twentysomething founders have created an A list of blogging stars (like WONKETTE'S Ana Marie Cox and Jason Kottke of KOTTKE.ORG), followed by hundreds of B and C listers. A post later lamented that blogging has lost its hip factor, but Blogebrity's founders are just getting going. Next up: plans for a print magazine and TV program featuring inside dish on bloggers.
