On April 3, Warren introduced the Corporate Executive Accountability Act. The bill would make it a federal crime, punishable by a years’ imprisonment for a first offense, for corporate executives and anyone else in a position of “responsibility and authority” to “negligently”—that is, by accident—“permit or fail to prevent” employee violations of any federal or state criminal law. So, if a low-level employee defrauds a customer, Warren wants to hold the company’s CEO personally and criminally liable, even if the CEO had no knowledge of the employee’s crime.

Petrified watermelons, skunks set the stage for this Idaho funny man’s gas empire
t was the greatest advertising line that originated in Idaho. “Petrified watermelons. Take one home to your mother in law,” read the sign on U.S. Highway 30. Its posts were surrounded by smooth round boulders painted green. The sign was the creation of Farris Lind, an independent Boise gasoline seller tagged in the 1940s by big oil companies as a “stinker” because he undercut their prices. The epithet led to today’s Stinker Stores, a Boise-based chain of 106 convenience stores with gas pumps that employs more than 1,000 people at 65 stores in Idaho, 39 in Colorado and one in Wyoming. In the 1940s and ‘50s, in the days before the interstate highway system, you could go out and plant a sign anywhere on federal property, said Rick Just, a Boise author whose book “Fearless: Farris Lind, The Man Behind the Skunk” was just published. Lind’s signs struck a nerve with travelers.
