Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, the two Fortune magazine writers who wrote, “The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron,” are in Houston at the Enron trial, and they posted some of their observations this morning.
“The media jam for Monday’s jury selection eased a bit on Tuesday, though reporters who really wanted seats in the courtroom (as opposed to a separate courthouse room offering a closed-circuit video feed) sent paid line-holders (in one case, at $50 an hour) as early as 3 a.m.
“The hometown Houston Chronicle has provided saturation coverage, including three separate online blogs. Among the pre-dawn arrivals Tuesday was the paper’s sleepy-eyed fashion writer, who is preparing an analysis of the courtroom stars’ sartorial splendor — such as it is. (Grey suits are the uniform of choice.)”
Can’t wait to read that story about the attire.
