...incumbent Governor] Ann Richards in my run in 1994," said the President, adding that he got to know Lay after that. This came as a surprise to a great many people in Texas, as Lay and his wife contributed $47,500 to Bush's campaign that year (and a mere $12,500 to Richards') and Enron's political-action committee and executives donated nearly $100,000 more to Bush, according to the watchdog group Texans for Public Justice. Lay had even contributed to Bush's unsuccessful race for Congress...

And the only reason a cop would saunter over to your Bimmer is to give you a ticket...

The Altima's interior is a little on the plasticky side, and for some reason its side mirrors don't fold away, but the price is right, around $23,000 for the V6 (a mere $17,000 for the basic 4 cyl. version). And the Altima is the first commonplace sedan to draw a second and third look on the road.
