But Eleanor Roosevelt is still da bomb and that is an excellent quote- thanks for posting it!
Lay was a crook ... but I think you don't understand the pension situation.

The only money that was lost was the value of the stock which was given by Enron to their employee pension plan. None of the Enron employees lost money of their own ... they only lost their projected share of the paper value of the stock which was given to the plan.

And Eleanor Roosevelt was about the silliest and most naive little tall rich girl who was ever publicly humiliated by a cousin/husband.
