About the only thing that didn't fail was Sherron Watkins' flair for numbers. In the sad tale of Enron's collapse, Watkins is the closest thing to a hero in sight. When she goes out for coffee, strangers stop to give her "attagirls" and ask for her autograph. She still goes to work each day at the company's headquarters in downtown Houston, where the tilted logo out front has yielded Enron a new nickname: the Crooked...
Police at first tried to describe Bishop as a troubled loner. Yet Favreau said Charles "never complained about his home life," and teachers cast him as a buoyant student who denounced bin Laden in an essay.

...China's savvy bid contrasts sharply with its failed 1993 effort. Back then police rounded up mentally handicapped people who might have wandered into sight of an IOC motorcade and beat one to death. The government enmeshed its bid with an empty political slogan: "A More Open China Awaits the 2000 Games." Nothing like that this time.
