by Bryan Bender, Globe Staff
8 Jul 2005 at 4:00am

A Stiff, if Weary, Upper Lip
by Edward Lucas
LONDON -- "Something's happened in the city," explained the driver of my bus as he pulled up a short way from London's Harrods department store at 9:36 yesterday morning. As he waited for further instructions, a passenger listening to a radio in her cell phone declared that "there are explosions on the Tube; they're blaming them on a power surge." "More likely bombs," said another passenger quietly. The bus fell silent, and we disembarked and drifted off, some to return home, others to make their way to work on foot.

Facing Terror on the Tube
by Eugene Robinson
If you're even slightly claustrophobic, a ride in the London Underground can be unnerving. It's the oldest subway in the world; some of the stations on the venerable Circle Line were opened in 1863, when Queen Victoria was still deep in mourning over the recent death of her beloved Prince Albert. The trains are cramped and stifling, and the pitch-black walls of the ancient tunnels seem to close in on you, almost like a tomb.

Bad Case for a Fight
by David Ignatius
As a journalist, I'm angry that Judith Miller of the New York Times is in jail today for trying to protect a confidential source.
