Bush’s Counsel
It was quite revealing to discover that among the coterie of the presidential counsel Gray’s collaborators was none other than attorney Janet Rehnquist, daughter of Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

Interlocking directorates are an outmoded and outlawed practice belonging to the archaic freebooting days of corporate connivance. At least eliminate nepotism from the “corridors of power”!
