...relatively "good" news on that horrible day. When passenger Todd Beamer said, "Are you guys ready? Let's roll!" and led those heroes forward in their charge toward the terrorists in the cockpit, he was partly inspired by a Teddy Roosevelt quotation that his wife later found on his desk at home. That speech praised the person "who strives valiantly ? spends himself in a worthy cause ? and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." This movie honors the passengers' courage, and I will try to honor them by seeing it, no matter...

On his desk a baby jar full of spent cartridges collected on his property reminds him of the fragility of peace. "As a citizen who lived with Préval through the past, I look at him with a question mark. Since he was declared the winner, so far so good," Sassine says...

Before he was rescued, he went back into the rubble of the FBI building and scrounged through his senior analyst's desk until he found the computer disc. One of the first things he did after he got to dry ground was send the list to FBI headquarters. On Sept. 10, the list went out to every FBI field office in the country with orders to share it with local law enforcement...
