...leader, the one who weeps with the families of victims. Cheney plans to visit New York City, but he has told aides that he's not particularly comfortable with the emotional stuff. He would rather influence policy from behind the scenes than try to share in the nation's grief. As he told an adviser, "I'm not good at funerals...
