FAULT

Rumors of banned substances have long swirled around top players. This year's Wimbledon champ, Andy Murray, has pushed the sport's governing body to conduct more testing, as have Djovokic, Nadal, and Federer. So what's the holdup? The Daily Beast's Sujay Kumar reports.

TRAGEDY

The man piloting the Asiana Boeing 777 that crash-landed, killing two and injuring scores, triggered a warning from the jet seconds before impact—and was in training, reports aviation expert Clive Irving.

PAKISTAN'S REPORT

Osama bin Laden kept his identity so secret when living in his Abbottabad compound, according to a Pakistan government report obtained by Al Jazeera, that the families of bin Laden's assistants didn't realize who they were living with until years later, when one of them saw his picture on television. The report details some of the extreme measures bin Laden took to stay hidden, including installing multiple utility meters so utilities wouldn't notice unusual activity, waiting for an earthquake to build an additional floor under the guise of repairs, and wearing a cowboy hat whenever he moved about the house. Still, the report finds that bin Laden was able to hide either because he was extremely lucky or because "there was a complete collapse of local governance."

ON THE MEND

A day after being rushed to the hospital, Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, is said to be improving. Heinz Kerry reportedly had a seizure, but doctors upgraded her condition on Monday from critical to fair, according to the State Department. Her husband, son, and other family members have stayed with her at the hospital, where she undergoing further evalutation. The 74-year-old heiress to the Heinz ketchup fortune was treated for breast cancer in 2009, but beat that disease.

NOT WILL AND KATE

Royal-baby watch might go on a bit longer than expected—until January, that is. Zara Phillips, the daughter of the Princess Royal, announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child with her husband, rugby player Mike Tindall. It's the third grandchild for the Princess Royal, Queen Elizabeth's second child, whose son, Peter Phillips, has two daughters. "Everyone is delighted, really, really happy for everyone and both of them," said Peter Phillips. The baby will be 16th in line for the throne. Phillips, an Olympic equestrian, plans on continuing riding while pregnant.
