...Charles is also the one, as the public's demonstration of grief for Diana is mixed with attacks on the Crown, who asks aloud, "Why do they hate us?"

The chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 employees in the terrorist attacks, had to manage his grief for his lost coworkers, including his brother, Gary, but at the same time rebuild his company. Lutnick was taking his son to school for his first day of kindergarten when the planes hit the World Trade Center, where Cantor Fitzgerald occupied floors 101 and 103-105 of the North Tower. Since that day, he says he's made it his mission to help the victims' families...
