x ** TOP_VIEW ** x The Bigger Picture 2.03.02 Baxter death no suicide, say friends, family--WashPost Duh. = = = = = = = = From: "David Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "TOP_VIEW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Baxter Suicide? Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2002 21:37:17 -0500 Well, here's another suspicion confirmed. Have you wondered why the press has not permitted us to hear one peep out of J. Cliff Baxter's widow? It's because she's not singing the right tune. "The family doesn't buy it," said a friend about the rush to suicide verdict. It's acutally pretty surprising that The Post, which is acting more and more like the official White House news organ, should let even this little hint of skepticism out. By the way, something else is conspicuously absent from the press reports. We have not been told even one word about Baxter's activities in the 48 hours before his body was found. Who saw him last? Where was he supposed to be when he was dead in his car instead? What was his schedule of activities? Had his wife reported him missing? If not, why not? This is absolutely the worst reporting job on an important event that I have seen yet in this country, and that covers a lot of ground. When it comes to shamelessness, Bill Clinton has nothing on the members of our journalism profession. = = = = http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A63346-2002Jan30.html Former Enron Executive Remembered By Christine Haughney Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, January 30, 2002; 5:27 PM AMITYVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 30--Under a slate-colored sky and the watchful eyes of gulls, J. Clifford Baxter's family held his funeral in the Long Island community he left to rise to vice chairman of Enron Corp. For 43-year-old Baxter's family and hometown friends, the funeral marked a tragic ending for a police sergeant's son who led a life marked only by successes. "The whole world knows a different Cliff Baxter," said John Bochicchio who played ball and graduated from high school with him. "I know the Cliff Baxter I grew up with." Before the squawks of birds and the snaps of cameras, a collection of friends and relatives gathered in front of the red brick Catholic church St. Martin of Tours shortly before 10 a.m. Mainly dressed in black suits, they formed a human shield to block Baxter's wife and 11-year-old daughter from the dozen cameras and reporters who stood across the street. His 16-year-old-son, who wore dark sneakers, a neatly pulled back ponytail and the statement of someone in pain, helped carry his father's cherry coffin, draped in an American flag. The church's thick white doors closed. The farewell to Baxter began. The service focused on his successes and generosity, including the time he took his mother and three sisters to Ireland, said Kevin Kretz a local real estate agent and family friend. Among the hymns were "Amazing Grace, "Ave Maria" and "Be Not Afraid." Since Baxter was found dead of a gunshot wound Friday morning near his luxury home in the Houston suburbs, his family has asked the press to leave them alone. But today Kretz said that those who knew Baxter don't think he killed himself. "The people who know him closely doubt it," Kretz said. "The family doesn't buy it." Quick-witted and a contagious laugher, Baxter had taken all honors courses at Amityville High School and developed a local reputation for his successes beyond his home, said Bochicchio. As he stood in a dark suit and tried to crack jokes, Bochicchio talked about how Baxter had always surpassed his peers in smarts and success. But when he returned home, Bochicchio said Baxter acted like a "real regular Joe." At his high school reunion, he asked Bochicchio after his children and chatted about Long Island. Work didn't come up. "He never really forgot where his roots were," said Woodrow Cromarty, chief of the Amityville Village Police Department who replaced Baxter's father as the police sergeant when he retired eight years ago. Today he firmly stood in front of the church where Clifford's mother and five siblings grieved. The Clifford family has been known in Amityville for more than 100 years. As the service ended before 11 a.m., relatives and friends emerged somberly from the church. Bochicchio, who works for Federal Express, watched the hearse carrying the body of the man he describes as his "successful" friend drive off followed by three limousines and 16 cars. "A lot of people are going to know him as the [vice] chairman of this company that went crazy," he said. "Our lives took different paths." -------- DC Dave Author, "America's Dreyfus Affair, The Case of the Death of Vincent Foster" "Upton Sinclair and Timothy McVeigh" "Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression" http://www.thebird.org/host/dcdave News group: alt.thebird ------- End of forwarded message ------- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
