...last building glut on campus ended in the early 70s. At that time, Cambridge was widely considered one of the most daring design centers in the U.S. Iconic buildings such as Sert’s Peabody Terrace and Le Corbusier’s Carpenter Center rose up in parallel with Harvard’s postwar intellectual boom. Harvard became an architectural rebel, dipping in to new experimental styles and unfamiliar designs in their sprawl across Cambridge...
...worse it loses the engagement of telling a single story. It begins with what journalists call a "tick-tock," a minute-by-minute accounting of the hijacking of the planes. Cleverly, Jacobson and Colon use the graphic abilities of the form to show each plane's story in four parallel timelines running across the pages. The appalling lack of communication can thus be seen on a single page as United 93, delayed on the ground by nearly 45 minutes, only receives warning of multiple hijackings at the same time that the North Tower burns, the South Tower is struck...

"We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives but they're a nuisance," Kerry said in an interview in 2004, drawing a parallel with the containment of prostitution, illegal gambling and organized crime.

In the wake of 9/11, defeating the terrorists had to be America's No. 1 priority...
...Mahfouz did not always play the placid cultural observer. He was an early and vocal supporter of normalizing relations with Israel (some Arab countries banned his books in response.) His Children of Gabalawi, although set in modern times (it was published in 1959), features characters that loosely parallel figures in the Bible and the Koran. The novel's boldness attracted the attention of Islamic extremists, and in 1994 a young fanatic attacked him, stabbing him in the neck. Mahfouz survived, but lost much of the use of his right-and writing-hand. (His attacker fared worse: he was hung...
