Chief executives don't often confess corporate sins in public. But during a recent hearing at the suburban Maryland headquarters of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an electric-utility boss named Bruce Kenyon did just that. Kenyon, a respected nuclear-industry veteran with a raspy voice and a cocksure style, last fall became president, CEO and designated savior of Northeast Utilities' nuclear division, which operates five commercial reactors in New England. "At the time I arrived, [Northeast] was as close to a dysfunctional organization as I have ever encountered," he told the NRC. "The fundamental problem was leadership...

ValuJet would be allowed to fly up to 15 of its 51 planes to start, although a schedule for full resumption of service has not been determined, says spokesperson Gregg Kenyon.

Her long leg, thrust out with strutting sexual arrogance and glinting through the overbrushed black veil, had more oomph than a thousand of the virginal Muses and personifications of Columbia painted by academics like Kenyon...
Archaeology tells a more complicated tale. Historians generally agree that Joshua's conquest would have taken place in the 13th century B.C. But British researcher Kathleen Kenyon, who excavated at Jericho for six years, found no evidence of destruction at that time. Indeed, says Dead Sea Scrolls curator emeritus Broshi, "the city was deserted from the beginning of the 15th century until the 11th century B.C." So was Ai, say Broshi and others. And so, according to archaeological surveys, was most of the land surrounding the cities. Says Broshi: "The central hill regions of Judea and Samaria were practically uninhabited...
...suggest that no evidence exists of destruction at Ai, for example, because the city was in a different location 3,000 years ago. Bryant Wood, director of the pro-Bible Associates for Biblical Research, insists that his own research supports Joshua's assault on Jericho. Perhaps, he suggests, Kathleen Kenyon was biased, or just got it wrong...
