...Today we practiced with our pals Mahesh Bhupathi, from India and Martin Damm, from the Czech Republic. We had a good workout, winning the tiebreakers we played against this tough but friendly tandem.

In the distance, red-brick Victorian steeples poke up among the golden domes of the pagodas, and along the road, great white-columned English mansions stand empty like haunted houses, their walls mildewed, their gardens overrun with weeds, moisture dripping from their eaves. In the Strand Hotel, a grand monument to colonial decay, ceiling fans turn lazily above a lost-and-found case still stuffed with pince-nez, ladies' compacts...
Hindawi was not the only one on trial at the Old Bailey. According to Amlot, Hindawi told British police that Syrian military-intelligence officers had helped plan the attack, supplying him with a Syrian passport and $12,000 as well as the Czech-made plastic explosives found in Murphy's carry-on satchel.
