Prosecuting former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, widely seen as Enron's mastermind, will probably be the trickiest case. Skilling was so sure he had committed no crime that he waived his right against self-incrimination and testified before Congress that "I was not aware of any inappropriate financing arrangements." Prosecutors may try to nail him for perjury, and they have reportedly widened their probe to investigate his role in Enron's broadband venture...
...gearing up to take a hard look at school meals when it reauthorizes the $6.4 billion government-funded school-lunch program at the start of next year.

Pakistan has reportedly promised full support for a U.S. retaliation against Bin Laden, including allowing Pakistani airspace to be used by U.S. planes to strike Afghanistan. But President Bush's comment that Washington would have to wait and see what that means suggests the U.S. is not sure of the extent of Pakistan's commitment to the battle against Bin Laden. But Pakistani intelligence...
