...there's only one witness capable of putting butts in congressional seats - David Duncan, the fired lead Enron auditor who led the shredding at Arthur Andersen, did appear Thursday under subpoena in front of Greenwood's oversight gang. But Duncan, with all Andersen's fingers pointed squarely at him, took the Fifth and will hold out until he gets an immunity deal. So as the House got under way Thursday, fed live to the cable news networks, it was Andersen partner C.E.

Bush took over the White House, Blair has founded his foreign policy on achieving trust with Washington's new gang of Texan-accented unilateralists. He disagrees with Bush on many topics, from the Kyoto climate change accords to how hard to lean on Israel. But he figured the place to influence that self-absorbed bunch was from inside, so he noisily backed Bush on nuclear missile defense and told Europeans...
