I never got to meet Ken Lay when I worked at Enron, although I did get to see him in the Enron board room one day when I was invited into it to pose for a photo opportunity.

I was pretty shocked when I heard he'd passed away this morning.  The most interesting news "coverage" of his death was this article I found today on CNN Online (via Reuters).  Apparently, the news resulted in many inaccurate postings as to the cause of his death on the Wikipedia site...

I recently had a professor tell me she'd never accept a Wikipedia citation from any student.  I love Wikipedia and its 13,000 contributors.  But not for breaking news.  I actually trust the traditional media for that - which is pretty shocking in itself to admit.
