...cajoling and intimidation by those who know they have been exposed. Eric Orina, Secretary-General Kenya Union of Journalists Nairobi The Spirit of Survival I agree wholeheartedly with the praise bestowed upon the British by Andrew Sullivan in his Essay "The Quiet Power of the Stoic" [July 18]. The manner in which the Brits handled the tragedy was noble and inspiring. But the response of Americans, especially New Yorkers, to the events of 9/11 was equally so. While Americans may react less stoically and with more surface passion, New Yorkers rescued others from burning buildings, went back to work...
...sound as though there must be something or someone making me live my life in this manner. Well, there is: me. I choose to spend my time this way, even though it may mean less time for friends, family and relaxing. Call me crazy, but the reason for my overscheduled lifestyle is the love I have for all my chosen activities. Just like with my schooling, I have long-term goals for the sports with which I am involved. Those goals drive me to keep up the hard work. I enjoy what I do and am not planning to stop...

No act of terrorism could diminish our American spirit, nor should the world fail to recognize that...
...century missionaries on local culture. Yes, they say, the preachers did some good things, such as curtailing cannibalism and incessant warfare. "But they also put a stop to a lot of our fun," says Puloka. As well as fanifo, underwater rugby (played among the breakers with hilarity and all manner of monkey business) seems to have been a casualty of British decorum. Traditional culture survives, though only in more formal incarnations, such as kava ceremonies and dance. Despite the hot climate, it is still forbidden for men or women to go shirtless in public...
...really expected to believe that treating a detainee like a dog, depriving him of sleep and making him dance with a box over his head are going to lead to credible intelligence? I bet that most people, if treated in such a perverse manner for a prolonged period of time, would tell their interrogators what they wanted to hear. I find it significant that when Detainee 063 finally confessed to al-Qaeda involvement, he stated he was doing it "to get out of here." The interrogation techniques currently used by the U.S. on suspected terrorists appear unethical and outrageous...
