...destroy anybody." Perhaps, but the hefty Financial Times can hardly be pleased. As the Standard heads for higher ground, competition among the evening free sheets could get tough. In the coming months, London's transit companies are expected to award exclusive rights to distribute within the city's subway network and train stations. Both papers' executives are "hard nosed," says Panmure Gordon's DeGroote. "These guys are about as good as it gets." And if their new entrants match the Standard for longevity, London's newest newspaper war could be a story worth paying...

The well-known radical mosques that were at the center of "Londonistan" in the 1990s have had their wings clipped; as the investigations into the subway bombings showed, most young radicals don't get their ideas from mosques at all. They gather in youth clubs, gyms, bookstores or simply in someone's back room.
