An Oregon verdict awarded $150 million to survivors of a woman who died from lung cancer, ruling low-tar claims were false.

White disclosed 55 calls to Enron officials and 29 contacts in January, saying he did not use his influence for Enron and that most conversations related to Enron's financial condition.
