...missile shield would do very little to protect the country from an intangible and amorphous threat. "Our military forces have been designed primarily to fight a conventional war with a conventional enemy, and we've learned the hard way that as much destruction can be caused by an errant airplane as by a powerful bomb," Wexler told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel in September, just after the attacks...

In the early days before his discovery, Vaughan fused so much raw, open energy into his performance that even once removed through a recording, the presentation...
