...launched just after the dotcom economy fizzled are now mostly completed. The icons of massive, turn-of-the-century corporate fraud--Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling of Enron, Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom, Dennis Kozlowski and Mark Swartz of Tyco--are convicted and, in Lay's case, dead. Even Martha Stewart has served time. And many, if not most, of the cases the feds brought against smaller fish--to help assuage a share-owning public that had been scammed by phony accounting and overhyped stock--are resolved.

...three converts are part of a group of mostly British-born Muslims of Pakistani or Kashmiri origin. The details divulged by the Bank were sparse, of course, leaving the British media racing to fill out the picture. Neighbors told the Guardian how Stewart-Whyte, who lived with his widowed mother, changed after converting to Islam a year ago. "He grew a long beard and had shaved his head," said one. "The people he was hanging around with were different. Now he's with people who are religious. He doesn't speak to anyone around here since his conversion." Other neighbors...
