...Newman is arguing her other cases and commuting from New Jersey to New York. "I spend my life in the Holland Tunnel," she says, sighing. But Padilla v. U.S.A. has swallowed her summer. "I haven't been to the shore once," she says. "I went to Fire Island. I was one block from the beach, and I stayed inside the entire time." She sends letters to Padilla but has no idea if he is getting them. She keeps in touch with his family. Civil-liberties groups besiege her with offers of publicity and free legal advice, but she ignores them...
...thinking about moving out of New York and other big cities, and some have done so. These are responses more in keeping with the scale and drama of the episode that provoked them, but they may not make any more sense. David G. Myers of Hope College in Holland, Mich., calculated that terrorists would have to hijack 50 planes a year and kill everyone aboard before flying would be more dangerous than driving an equal distance...

They asked if I was from Holland, and I said Ireland, after which they all started shouting, “Robbie Keane, Irlanda, Robbie Keane” and immediately offered me the cab. My two British companions were baffled, as they knew a) I don’t speak a word of French and b) the French...
When I get to Bozeman, I meet Holland, her husband and eight other Lewis-and-Clarkheads at a neighbor's property, where we put up an American flag and set up a campfire right beside the East Gallatin River. R.G. Montgomery, a retired biology teacher who gives lessons on Lewis and Clark and does the occasional bit of re-enacting, shows up in period dress--moccasins, a red kerchief over his head--carrying a box of reproduction supplies. Since the Corps of Discovery is the ultimate Boy Scout story, most of these guys, all of whom are grandparents, are only...
