...high school was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life; many would find the same here if they were given the opportunity. The presence of a student carillon guild would be yet another reason for students to choose Harvard. As it is, many might well brave the dangers of New Haven just to play the bells, so moving is the experience. Meanwhile, a University Carillonneur would be able to give recitals on days in which school is not in session (such as the nation-wide Fourth of July Let Freedom Ring). The possibilities are limitless...
...victims were from nations whose people are tired and poor. Between 80 and 100 Britons were killed, and so were 22 Japanese. Niall O'Dowd, publisher of the Irish Voice, a weekly based in New York, is writing a book on the hundreds of Irish Americans, many of them brave cops and fire fighters, who died on that late-summer morning.

At the moment, the public's best protection against that sort of surprise is other brave whistle-blowers like Sherron Watkins...
...Potomac River, the practice of introducing surprise guests at the big speech has been an annual presidential routine. President Bush will almost certainly have a hero or two from Sept. 11--a New York City fireman, a policeman or perhaps the widowed spouse of one of the brave passengers who brought down Flight 93--in the balcony sitting next to Laura Bush that night. But a better-known guest is likely to be Hamid Karzai, the dapper interim leader of Afghanistan's new U.S.-backed government. Karzai is scheduled to pay Bush a visit at the White House...
