...Helen Prejean, the jury was apparently sold on the government's position laid out in the first few minutes of closing arguments, which began March 13. "This is a case about a betrayal of trust, of corruption at the very highest levels of state government," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel Levin, launching into a hours-long recounting of a trial that began on Sept. 19 and of a case that goes back roughly 13 years. "He might as well have put up a 'For Sale' sign over [his] office." Specifically, Ryan was found guilty of selling his office, both...

This is the kind of bunk we're used to in movies (This Book could pass for a loose novelization of the Haley Joel Osment confection Pay It Forward, without even the saving grace of an unhappy ending).

Although Skilling and Lay probably won't turn against each other-they haven't so far-they may well contradict one another. "Both defense attorneys came in and cross-examined with one hand tied behind their back," Androphy says. The problem was most obvious during the testimony of former CFO Andrew Fastow, when...
...investment banker who was policy director of Bush?s 2000 campaign and was his first deputy chief of staff for policy. So he is steeped in the current system. As a further sign of stability amidst change, White House insiders predicted that Bolten?s successor will be his deputy, Joel Kaplan - a veteran of both the Marine Corps and Bolten?s policy shops in Austin and the West Wing. Officials said Bolten will look at the White House from top to bottom and may make changes of his own, but a radical realignment would shock people quite close to Bush...
