...longtime habit of stovepiping--keeping information to themselves or sharing it with only a handful of people. That made for good secret-keeping but discouraged critical thinking by the people on the front lines. When an FBI agent in Phoenix, Ariz. noticed two months before the attacks that Middle Eastern men were taking flying lessons in his backyard and alerted headquarters that something ghastly might be in the offing, agents in Washington took no action.

Last week in Manhattan's cavernous Village Gate, the Herbie Mann Septet was serving up one of its typical jazz potpourris: gently infectious bossa nova, thumping Afro-Cuban, variations on a North African tribal chant, a Middle Eastern treatment of the theme from Fiddler on the Roof, a brooding interpretation of a classical piano piece written in 1888 by French composer Erik Satie ...

By the 1980s, the end of the regime was nearing. Cornelia Schleime, a former singer in a Dresden punk band and painter, was forced to leave East Germany in 1984.
