FIRST-PERSON: Enron & a state lottery have striking similarities
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (BP)--In law, the strongest witness is one who testifies against his own interest. As one who teaches in and is wholeheartedly committed to public higher education, I am an apparent beneficiary of revenues generated from a proposed state lottery. It might be assumed, therefore, that I should write in favor of the lottery. I cannot do so.
