...wears on, shelters are getting maxed out: the one where Powe and her two kids are staying has room for 32 people but received 50 calls from people seeking shelter in October 2006, 100 in October 2007 and about 300 last October. School districts know they'll have to fight one another to get enough resources for their homeless students. "It's our gravest concern that we'll lose more federal dollars," says MPS superintendent Bill Green. "Because staying in school is these kids' only shot at a better life...

On March 9, Pedro Ramírez, editor in chief of El Mundo, which has been the most vociferous proponent of the conspiracy theory, noted his paper was conducting an online poll that had so far found that 80% of respondents believed the attacks had not been sufficiently clarified. "It's one of the most important events in Spanish history and we still don't know what really happened and who contributed," Ramírez said.
