I flew into JFK at 6:50 a.m. and took a Dial 7 sedan to the Marriott in Brooklyn to hear closing arguments of Linde vs. Arab Bank, a big case with historic significance that may alter how banks interact with clients who may actually be terrorists. The case holds Arab Bank responsible for aiding and facilitating Hamas terrorists in paying off martyrs and funding 24 terrorist acts in Israel that injured or killed around 300 US citizens. It's the first time a case pins some responsibility on a bank for terrorist acts. Both sides presented their arguments, but the plaintiffs were particularly powerful (there's only so much emotion a bank can generate).
After that was over, I had dinner with Sharon, my literary agent with the Belcastro Agency. We had dinner at the Heights Cafe on a beautiful Brooklyn night. We ate outside right along the sidewalk. It was great! I really like her and hope this next book does the trick.
I came home around 10 and went right to sleep.
