...chasing a terrorism lead in rural Indonesia. He's in the middle of his own whirlwind, the newsroom largely empty of journalists, who are off like honey bees, foraging and collecting.

...tried to pull Enron's stock out of a tailspin by arranging a special conference call with analysts. "We're not trying to conceal anything," he told them. "I'm disclosing everything we've found." After Lay got off the phone, he gathered Enron's thousands of employees via a live webcast and video teleconference, and tried to reassure them too. "Our liquidity is fine," he said of the company that was about to flame out in one of the biggest accounting scandals in history. "As a matter of fact, it's better than fine. It's strong...
