Ginny felt emboldened as well: "It was the first time I'd actually identified myself with 9/11 and met anyone else who lost their husband that day.

Both mother and daughter were thoroughly drained by the day, but the first thing Hilary said to Ginny was, "I can't wait for the next camp...
...Port Authority cops were buried but not mortally wounded by hurtling chunks of stone and metal--even as people in close proximity were killed.

...Khatami likes less than confrontation. Even when Iran's hard-line clerical rulers used their executive authority to turn Khatami's reformist presidency into a punching bag, he rolled with the blows, refusing to publicly challenge their systematic obstruction of his agenda. Until now, that is. On Wednesday, Khatami broke with over five years of fruitlessly pursuing conciliation, issuing an unprecedented legal challenge to hard-liners monopoly on state power. Addressing reporters in Tehran, the president announced his plan to submit a bill to parliament - where his reform policies enjoy majority support - seeking to expand his executive powers under...
