The vote was actually 11 - 4 to approve the books as conforming.
If you are in the Houston area, you may be interested to watch
"The Connection" on PBS tonight - Ray Bohlin, Ide Trotter, and
two of the "pro-evolution" people will be on the show. It is
interesting to me that DI put a press release out on the
financial newswires calling themselves "textbook reformers"
and declaring partial victory. Two things about this strategy.
One, the immense spin they put on things is of interest.
Two, the choice of how to disseminate information - ie,
their chosen audience. Not longer content to simply place
the press release on their website, they are releasing it
on yahoo to the investment community.
