...around her, others were filled with the same reflexive incredulity. And the reaction was not unique to 9/11. Whether they're in shipwrecks, hurricanes, plane crashes or burning buildings, people in peril experience remarkably similar stages. And the first one--even in the face of clear and urgent danger--is almost always a period of intense disbelief...
...Twin Towers, at least 135 people who theoretically had access to open stairwells--and enough time to use them--never made it out, the report found.Since the early days of the atom bomb, scientists have been trying to understand how to move masses of people out of danger. Engineers have fashioned glowing exit signs, sprinklers and less flammable materials. Elaborate computer models can simulate the emptying of Miami or the Sears Tower, showing thousands of colored dots streaming for safety like a giant Ms. Pac-Man colony. But the most vexing problem endures. And it is not signage or architecture...

It's ironic that the U.S. is trying to protect minority rights in the new Iraqi government while here at home Congress passes laws and approves budgets and judicial nominations with scant consideration of minority views. Klein advises Democrats...
Oddly though, he briefly does try to make G-rated versions of Aftermath tracks; “Could U Love Me” is an empty echo of 50 Cent’s “21 Questions.” Unfortunately, it lacks the growl and the danger that propels that former track’s narrative. Smith is so pure and inoffensive it’s hard to believe he would be in the type of situation that could end love. It’s hip-hop for those who like the idea...
