Just how close was the relationship between the President and disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff? Bush "saw me in almost a dozen settings," Abramoff wrote to a journalist friend in an e-mail that surfaced last week, "and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids."

He resigned partly due to financial reasons but also because he was forced out by relentless criticism and scrutiny from students and alumni. The point of contention was his salary. Meyer made $6 million in 2005 and his top bond managers were paid $18 million and $16.9 million...
