When rescue workers recovered the partial body of Leonard's husband Don seven years ago, she fought to see him. She advises Marchese-Collins to do the same. "Diane says somewhere down the road, I'm going to look back at finding her body and get a little comfort from that," Marchese-Collins explains. "If she says that, then she's probably right." --By Amanda Ripley
...much blood in the fall, they were throwing it out, but by Christmas some were putting out emergency calls because donations were lower than a year before. There was no baby boom nine months later. The markets survived the attacks, but not the crooks. The diabetics who craved the comfort of sundaes have gone back to watching their diets. The survivors are bickering over the payouts.

It was harder to reassure herself. But she had to work and within two weeks was back in the air. Moutardier, in a chilling instant, remembered working with one of the crew members killed. A month after she returned to work, she suffered a panic attack so paralyzing that she didn't want to get on another flight. Her supervisor told...
