9/11 From Two Viewpoints  —  On 9/11 I was in Connecticut.  It wasn't the part of Connecticut which really exists in the shadow of New York - further East than that - but nonetheless in a place which was connected to New York.  The city was a common destination, lots of people had friends relatives and direct connections to the place.

How safe a world?  —  THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of the Sept. 11 attacks is a day of remembrance and special sadness for the nation, and all those who knew any of the 2,973 victims.  Yet in the long run, the reaction of the Bush administration may prove more harmful to the national interest than even these horrific attacks.

ABC's Untrue Path  —  "Docudramas" are the worst draft of history.  —  Five years after 9/11, it's easy to find partisan divisions.  But here's an issue we should be able to agree on: Docudramas—the portrayal of real events and people by actors—are a poor way to teach children and adults history.
