...unlikely that such an arrangement would have been illegal. But the timing of Reed's Enron work had people who know about the finances of fledgling presidential campaigns clucking. A powerful force among Christian conservatives in the late 1990s, Reed was hired by Enron to bang the drum for energy deregulation in Pennsylvania at a time when the Bush team in Austin would have appreciated a low-cost, low-profile way of keeping Reed on their side, off their payroll and yet far from the crowd gathering around Steve Forbes and other conservative rivals. If Rove gave Enron a nudge...
...Don’t Let Me Down” deserves to be the biggest hit of the album, with its Ocasek-influenced driving synth and drum rhythms.

Mike's two young nephews, Christopher, 12, and Brandon, 7, attend St. Clare's School, a nearby Catholic day school connected to a church that has been burying firemen for months. The boys have heard the dirges of the pipe-and-drum corps from their desks; their classmates have served as altar boys. Mike's eldest brother, Robert, left Staten Island years ago, but the tragedy followed him: he works as a psychologist in the public schools of Middletown, N.J., the quiet bedroom community that buried 34 residents; six of his students...
