...Chicago, Steve Bernard was huddled around the TV with colleagues on the 36th floor of Chicago's Sears Tower, shortly after 8 a.m., watching the smoke billowing from the World Trade Center after the first attack. When the second plane hit, bewilderment at a faraway spectacle turned into a much more personal, creeping panic. The Chicago staff of the Piper Jaffray investment firm suddenly redirected their gazes toward the windows, quietly searching for jets on their own horizon. The 110-story Sears Tower, even taller than the World Trade Center, is the tallest building in the U.S.; a vulnerable target...

Just another conquest for Welles the Boy Wonder...
When it comes to reviewing, if you want erudition, lucidity and fine judgment, read George Bernard Shaw on classical music or Alfred Kazin on books. But for sheer pinwheeling, exclamation-pointed opinion, there is no beating the regular folk who have popped up all over the Internet.
