A beautiful calendar. For instance, at the end of one chapter he quotes Jung's son Franz as saying, "Imagine what it was like to live with a man who did nothing but draw circles for seven years." This was, of course, following his break with Freud, during which time Jung sank into a severe depression. The ones who need our help. I thoght there would be a lot of interesting facts and operations of Israeli intelligence, but there where very few.. Lavryle is retired now, but she has written many books. The final chapter covers future trends in resin manufacturing, applications, in the growth of fluoropolymer industries and technological needs specific to the chemical processing industry. I found this part so interesting and thoughtful. So much work remains to be done in American social ethics.Because the Republican noise machine likes to accentuate their understanding of American exceptionalism, I would like to point out that Gary Dorrien has detailed two exceptional American developments: (1) the development of American liberal theology, which he has detailed in his three-volume study titled THE MAKING OF AMERICAN THEOLOGY (2001, 2003, 2006), and (2) the development of the still emerging field of social Just as Watergate was the defining political story of our time, so Enron is the biggest business story of our time. * Rebecca Mark, the glamorous "It" girl of Enron International who raced around the globe in high style and battled Skilling for control of the company. Then a young Fortune writer named Bethany McLean wrote an article posing a simple question - How, exactly, does Enron make its money? - and the company's house of cards began to collapse. The Smartest Guys in the Room is fundamentally a human drama -- of people drunk on their own success, people so ambitious, so certain of their own brilliance, so fueled by greed and hubris that they believed they could fool the world. And just as All the President's Men was the one Watergate book that gave readers the full story, with all the drama and nuance, The Smartest Guys in the Room is the one book you have to read to understand this amazing business saga.. "He's a goddamn master criminal," Baxter would rail. * Andy Fastow, the brutally ambitious, deeply insecure whiz kid. Feared by rivals, worshiped by investors, Enron seemingly could do no wrong. "I am Enron," he once boasted. As the company unraveled, so did Skilling. UntEnron's leading lights were or a time celebrated for their ability to concoct nearly unfathomable business schemes to hide mounting shortfalls and keeping track on their machinations can be a chore, but, by sticking hard to the story behind the fall, McLean and Elkind have reported and written the definitive account of the Enron debacle. The authors' unrepressed sarcasms are more than often unnecessarily given the scope of the outrage. --Steven Stolder. Penned by Fortune scribes Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, the 400-page-plus chronicle of the scandal digs deep inside the numbers while, wisely, maintaining focus on the "smart guys" deep-frying the books. Unlike Enron, the Texas-based energy giant that has come to represent the post-millennium collapse of 1990s go-go corporate culture, it's also ultimately successful. Like its subject, The Smartest Guys in the Room is ambitious, grand in scope, and ruthless
