The One Percent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_Percent The One Percent is a 2006 documentary about the growing wealth gap between America 's wealthy elite compared to the overall citizenry.
This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing "wealth gap" in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Johnson, who cut his film teeth at NYU and made the Emmy®-nominated 2003 HBO documentary Born Rich, here sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale that enables a tiny percentage of Americans - the one percent - to control nearly half the wealth of the entire United States.

Enron Email Corpus

The Enron email corpus contains data from roughly 150 senior management executives of Enron, which was originally made public during the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's investigation of Enron. The corpus contains roughly 500,000 messages, organised into folders. Thanks to the work of people at MIT, SRI and CMU, the dataset has been cleaned (mostly stripping attachments and removing some emails for reasons of employee privacy), and made available online .
