SUICIDE BOMBERS?

Scuttlebutt from friends in London. Just passing along: cell-phones don’t work on the tube, so the likelihood of suicide bombers is that much higher; ditto the bus. The bus behind the one attacked was packed with school-kids. “There’s a surprising lack of panic,” my sister tells me. When it’s really serious, Londoners calm down. On the bright side, seniors are reminding the young that this is nothing compared to the Blitz. It’s the anniversary of victory in World War II, so the memories are particularly fresh. My sister is taking care of a neighbor’s child whose mother is stranded in London (but ok). What’s she doing? Making him tea.
