Julius, I hear Andersen is losing business. I wonder if the company will survive.

With or without Anderson, there'd have to be accounting errors within the government budget. How else would could a black, or shadow, budget come to exist? I remember having a conversation in The Plough and Stars, a well-rooted Cambridge, Massachusetts pub, with a madman-like intellectual who also was downing Guinnessesessses. He noted that many of those outrageous cost over runs--thousand dollar screws and 10K toiletseats, etc.--are simply a means by which to shave money into the black budget. Here's some stuff about that budget: metroactive.com wired.com geocities.com I guess it's stuff like this that makes one truly wonder whether Baxter made suicide his final act. Given the enormity of Enron's reach I think it quite likely the company shielded spys, spys and more spys, each quite capable of taking the whistleblower out. Oh, no, not another conspiracy theorists' convention? Heck, I'd rather go to an anarchists' convention--believe it or not, there is one; but they're not very well organized--lol!
