You know Texas is - even more now that Enron has bit the dust - it's held up on the back of small businesses.

I've never commented much about my experience at Enron except to say, when I was there, it was a much more pipeline and asset-oriented company.

In the case of Enron, we balance our positions all the time.

Bush began helping Enron in the eighties.

You don't want another Enron? Here's your law: If a company, can't explain, in one sentence, what it does... it's illegal.

I take full responsibility for what happened at Enron. But saying that, I know in my mind that I did nothing criminal.

Enron Field in Houston, the Trans World Dome in St. Louis and PSINet Stadium in Baltimore are just three of the modern-day coliseums named for companies that have found new homes in bankruptcy court.

Before Enron, I think people were a bit more naive about the way things worked, and I think Enron pulled the curtain back on unsavoury practices that turned out to be a lot more widespread.

During the Enron debacle, it was workers who took the pounding, not bankers. Not only did Enron employees lose their jobs, many lost their retirement savings. That's because they were at the bottom of the investing food chain.
