Must-read New Yorker piece on Skilling and Enron, demonstrating the fundamental flaws in the Skilling prosecution, even if Gladwell's framing device—the supposed difference between "mysteries" and "puzzles"—isn't, as Larry Ribstein points out, especially coherent. Blogosphere discussion: Carney; Kirkendall; Fleischer; Kling; Stastny.
