10 months ago, questions about Enron

[Peter K.]

If a 31-year-old/hottie/financial reporter could see something
was
shady about Enron 10 months ago, why couldn't regulators
or investors? Maybe the young are becoming more cynical.

"Ms. McLean is unsure what lessons journalists will learn from
covering Enron. "If we all are more cynical about companies and
know that accountants can't be trusted and boards can't be
trusted, is that a good thing?" she asked."
