...next page) digs into the rubble of the Twin Towers, telling the story of two police officers who were among the last survivors to be pulled out. United 93 grossed about $43 million worldwide, a respectable sum for a $15 million movie about the passengers who brought down a plane before hijackers could crash it. In January the cable movie Flight 93 drew A&E's highest ratings ever...
...CLEARED. Ciaran O'Reilly, 46, Nuin Dunlop, 34, Damien Moran, 26, Karen Fallon, 35, and Deirdre Clancy, 36, of criminal damage to a U.S. Navy aircraft at Shannon Airport in February 2003; in Dublin.

I like to imagine the gentleman then retreated to a downtown hotel where he ordered whiskey in a heavy-bottomed glass cold from...
...Having packed lightly, I can tell by what I took - and what I left behind - how rattled I was. I brought a nearly empty bottle of perfume, rather than its unopened replacement, to save on weight. I left my plane tickets for a visit home, thinking that by August I might be back and that in any case the airport was closed. I remembered to bring the July Vogue for the wait at the border; I forgot my address book...
