...blame for Enron's collapse. A lawyer for the board said directors were "misled" and that the report is "very unfair," but it will be welcome news to shareholders seeking billions of dollars in compensation from Enron; they could get a legal boost from the 60-page document. The bipartisan study also raises the likelihood that onetime Enron board members will come under renewed pressure to resign directorships at other major corporations like Lockheed Martin and Qualcomm. Wendy Gramm has already stepped down from several of her board assignments, but her husband Phil is leading the G.O.P. bid to block...
...acknowledge" their share of the blame for Enron's collapse. A lawyer for the board called the report "very unfair," but it will be welcome news to shareholders seeking billions of dollars in compensation from Enron; they could get a legal boost from the 60-page document. The bipartisan study also raises the likelihood that one-time Enron board members will come under renewed pressure to resign directorships at other major corporations like Lockheed Martin and Qualcomm.

"I think it not only reflects a new, bipartisan approach to governing," Lenoir says, "but also proves European policy has risen above the usual ideological divisions." Lenoir, 54, knows a thing or two about European policy and diplomacy. A lawyer who specializes in bio- and hi-tech matters, she was already one of France's leading legal ethicists when...
...Horn decided to take action. He ran the National Fatherhood Initiative, an independent (some say right-leaning) advocacy organization that works to get men to be good parents. While the group received money from conservatives like the Clinton-bashing Scaife Foundation, Horn quietly added his voice to a growing bipartisan consensus among politicians and policymakers for family cohesion. Indeed, though the typical Bush appointee looks at the Clinton era with disgust tempered only by ridicule, Horn is preternaturally bipartisan, even saying he "really, really respect[s] what Al Gore did" with his fatherhood initiative to promote good parenting...
