...wounded soldiers can hide in these villages, so could bin Laden. I spent the past two weeks in Tora Bora living in a family's peanut shed. One morning I saw a B-52 drop a bomb on a village about 6 kilometers away, so I drove there in a pick-up truck to investigate. It occurred to me as I jounced through a dry riverbed that in all my time in Tora Bora I hadn't seen a single car drive in that direction.

Harley-Davidson was there, along with Dave, who was wearing a black shalwar kameez (the traditional Afghan pants and long shirt) and carrying...
Nicole has begun jostling her own memory as well. She wants the pain for its intimacy. She has been eating a lot of chocolate and peanut butter, Greg's favorite combination, and shocked herself by craving Taco Bell, food he loved but she had long disdained. On Thanksgiving, after having turkey at her parents' house and dessert with Greg's family, she might just eat a late-night peanut-butter sandwich as he used to do. On Oct. 8, she watched a home video for the first time. Greg was offscreen, but that was precisely the point: all she wanted...
