Judge Moves to Allow Plea by Wife of Ex-Enron Officer

The timing is an impediment to a deal largely because of personal reasons. The Fastows are the parents of two young sons, and they are insisting that they serve their sentences at different times so that one of them will be available to care for the children.

“If Andy, her husband, has to go to jail at some time, we don’t want the children to be without parents,” Mike DeGeurin, one of Mrs. Fastow’s lawyers, told reporters outside the courthouse. “For reasons I don’t want to go too much into right now, five months will work.”

ISTANBUL, Nov. 20–Two powerful explosions, five minutes apart, ripped through Istanbul Thursday, killing at least 27 and injuring more than 450. The targets included the British consulate and a British bank.

Among the dead was Britain’s consul-general, Roger Short, according to Britain’s foreign office. He was one of 14 killed at the consulate, BBC News reported.

Authorities said the blast, like the Saturday attacks on synagogues here that killed 23 and injured 300, occurred within five minutes of one another.

Two sets of attacks within one week. The symbolism of choosing British and Jewish targets is pretty clear.
