• Trial of Mr. Edwards.

  Young testified for two days about how he helped hide Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter while Edwards pursued the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 and then kept her under wraps while Edwards angled for the vice president's spot on the ticket.
  
  During much of his testimony, Edwards stared straight at Young.
  
  This afternoon, Edwards' defense team began a cross examination of Young and zeroed in on inconsistencies and mistakes that Young made in television interviews, before a grand jury and in his book about the affair "The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down."

• TB making a comeback in London.
