A curriculum vitae should contain only positive events that enhance someone's possibility of securing a new job. There are entries in Lay's "C.V." that clearly go against the definition. Perhaps change the title to "biographical timeline" or remove the negative events. 67.80.122.91 16:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Born into poverty in Tyrone, Missouri, Kenneth Lay came from a family so poor that they were not always able to celebrate holidays, eating cold-cuts one Thanksgiving. The son of a Baptist preacher and some-time tractor salesman, Kenneth Lay always kept a sense of optimism and had the credo that “things would work out.”

Is it an exaggeration to say that this is POV? Seems to have been written by his lawyer. I'm almost in tears. RodC 21:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Influence Peddling

"Kenneth Lay learned favor-trading and influence peddling in the early ‘70s as a federal energy regulator. By the Reagan administration, when energy was deregulated, Kenneth Lay was already an energy company executive and he took advantage of the new climate by merging Houston Natural Gas Co. with Nebraska-based Inter-North"

How is this NPOV? Who is to say where Kenneth Lay "learned influence peddling"? This is not proven and merely someone subjective POV. It should be removed. Abacab 21:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expand

This article needs to be expanded, a lot of the negative things are being deleted because they're not sourced. --Awiseman 15:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
