IN THE UNITED STATES TRICKLE-DOWN VICE By Matthew Miller Tribune Media Services It’s bad enough when CEOs, bishops, auditors and stock analysts turn out to be corrupt self-dealers trying to pad their purses, cover their rears or worse. But when the little guy starts playing the angles, it really shakes your faith. I’m talking about the stunning announcement by Oscar Criner, the foreman in the Arthur Andersen jury, that he planned to write a book on the case — a fact he unveiled at the very moment he and his colleagues dropped the guillotine on the firm. Other jurors complained their deliberations were needlessly drawn out because Criner was taking copious notes for his memoir the whole time. “We could’ve left three or four days earlier,” one juror told The New York Times, adding that even though they told Criner all the evidence would be publicly available, he continued to copy court exhibits by hand. “That was very, very frustrating.” rprogreso.com
