...Trade Center and the Pentagon, and with good reason. Attorney General John Ashcroft appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee and declared that "terrorism is a clear and present danger to Americans today."

He didn't bother to add what everyone knew: the next incidents could be even more ghastly than those of Sept. 11.

According to one Manhattan-based plastic surgeon, the procedure reduces fine lines and wrinkles, removes age spots and lessens acne scarring.
