...Bush told reporters that he had not talked with Enron CEO Kenneth L. Lay about the company's woes. But the White House later acknowledged that Lay, a longtime friend of Bush's, had lobbied Commerce Secretary Don Evans and Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. Lay called O'Neill to inform him of Enron's shaky finances and to warn that because of the company's key role in energy markets, its collapse could send tremors through the whole economy. Lay compared Enron to Long-Term Capital Management, a big hedge fund whose near collapse in 1998 required a bailout...

...shooting match isn't really about the past, it's about the midterm congressional elections that are now a scant 10 months away - and Daschle doesn't lack for ammunition.

Drayton's pioneering style lives on today in the form of the Campbell's soup kids, whom she created almost 100 years...
...needing tariffs of their own to spare GM. It ain't quotas - raising product prices to prop up commodity prices is not a smart way to grow an economy in which services are 80 percent of GDP and consumers pull 66 percent of the economic weight. And Paul O'Neill going to Japan and telling them to shut down two plants so two can live in West Virginia? A superpower that believes in its own American Way doesn't go strong-arming for charity...
