...emergency and corporate-security offices with another round of terrorism warnings. Although there are no plans to raise the threat level from yellow to orange, a senior Justice Department official says, "there's very serious intelligence that's corroborated, that's multiple sourced, that indicates that al-Qaeda is intent on hitting us and hitting us hard this year." The official concedes, however, that "we don't have specific information...
...hopes the news from Iraq will change for the better. There are plausible explanations for some of the Administration's actions (for example, the government should at least consider some extreme methods of eliciting information from terrorists intent on mass murder).

...call which is no drill: Air Defense Readiness. At the signal, all military aircraft are to be armed, fueled and manned, all defense forces called to duty, the White House and top officials notified--but not the public. Next signal, when the incoming aircraft prove "manifestly hostile in intent": Yellow Alert, to set off air-raid sirens, ground all civilian planes. Final signal: Red Alert, meaning World War III. By then, bombs, and perhaps the bombers, would be plunging earthward...
