In fairness, the Krugman of the Enron board was somewhat younger than the
Krugman of today, and he has become noticeably more left-wing since a)
moving to the NYT and b) getting involved in the Social Security debate.  I
personally think that the epiphany arrived when he finally realised that
constantly rewriting ideas that other people had already had was never going
to win him the Nobel Prize.

And I read on my screen that former Enron vice-chairman Cliff Baxter has
committed suicide ....
