Says Townsend, "All I know is there are a lot of people in emergency rooms all over town who aren't able to be admitted and are just kind of hanging...
...that the Bush Administration has been rather cagey about that, too. They have their own highlight reel, after all: A montage of 9/11, Colin Powell holding up a vial of anthrax, Zarqawi's death mask presented in a gilt frame on a curtained stage.

Amir was knocked over but remained conscious. Yossi, a cousin living next door, raced over with his 5-year-old daughter. Pnina, a trained psychological counselor, was driving back from Tel Aviv, where...
...just completing construction. "That is new. That is new. That one is finished. This one will be finished soon," he says, as we drive around. "For 40 years, there was nothing here. Now there are going to be 10,000 people living in downtown Oakland." All that concrete and mortar may be a special source of pride for a man who picked up the nickname Moonbeam in the 1970s for being a little too theoretical.
