...centuries of slavery and abuse but a more recent era of liberal piety, when some suburban whites discovered race shame. It reminds the mass audience that 40 years ago black people were saints--not only for the atrocities they endured but also for the grace with which they bore them...
Take in a ball game at the stadium that bore Enron's name, and you'll be sitting in a place now called Minute Maid Park. The tilted E that blazed in front of Enron's Houston headquarters is gone, sold at auction. At its offices, a pared-down staff administers old contracts and remaining assets like gas pipelines and power plants.

The assaults bore plenty of al-Qaeda's trademarks: double attacks, synchronized, well-organized and well-coordinated, based on good local surveillance and precision timing, in a part of East Africa where the terrorist organization has long operated. But because Israelis were the target, intelligence agents are looking hard at the possibility that Palestinians were somehow involved. U.S. and Israeli leaders took heart that the death toll was comparatively small because the jetliner attack had miraculously...
