...only glimpse the soul of a company when it breaks open right before your eyes. But we know now, thanks to Watkins, that Enron hid billions of dollars in debts and operating losses inside private partnerships and dizzyingly complex accounting schemes that were intended to pump up the buzz about the company and support its inflated stock price. We also learned last week that executives at Andersen, the accounting giant that enabled Enron's every move, fretted about the arrangement but saw the chance to double their fees if they just kept their heads down.

Drug abusers had discovered that they could get a heroin-like buzz by crushing the pills before they took them. Almost overnight, OxyContin became the drug of choice on city streets and in the suburbs; it has now been linked to 300 deaths. As the drug skates between success and excess, the manufacturer has come under increased scrutiny for its aggressive marketing campaign...
