...Emmy nomination for his first year's work. The second season (Fox, Tuesdays, 9 p.m. E.T.) will put Bauer through another longest day of his life. How? Last year I wrote that because of post-9/11 sensitivities, "one doubts that the second season might involve...a nuclear bomb in New York City." I'm proud to say I was correct. The second season involves a nuclear bomb threat in Los Angeles. "Once you posit that the show is set in the world of antiterrorism," says executive producer Robert Cochran, "you can't shy away from the things that people...
...Barayev, leader of the Chechen Islamic Special Units, famously oversaw the capture and beheading of four telecommunications workers--three from Britain, one from New Zealand--in Chechnya in 1998. Movsar also had an aunt in the rebel business. Khava Barayeva is revered by Chechen guerrillas for her suicide car-bomb attack on a Russian base in the family's home village of Alkhan-Yurt.

The North Koreans have announced that they were just kidding about not wanting an atom bomb. Midterm elections tomorrow will decide control of both houses of Congress and the Massachusetts governorship too. Almost every Harvard athletic team is having a good season, and the Crimson Dance Team has been invited to perform at halftime in the Sugar Bowl...
...Insult followed those injuries when she learned that because no one was killed in the blast a French press report had quipped: "The bomb created more noise than damage." Other shocks awaited: the insurance policy covering the restaurant provided only for property destroyed by terrorist acts, not human injury. Health-care services were uninterested and unprepared for the special needs of terror victims. The legally trained Rudetzki decided to do something.

She founded SOS Attentats...
