...handling of 9/11 also had to reinforce his faith in his instincts. Even the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung saw Bush growing into his role as world leader. "Before our eyes," the paper said a month after the attacks, "the 55-year-old former Governor has become grayer, more profound and more sure-footed." The attacks only deepened Bush's impulse to trust in strength for its own sake, particularly given that earlier al-Qaeda attacks had drawn only limited response and thus perhaps emboldened Osama bin Laden.

About the time I turned 50, I experienced the profound biological change that often accompanies women at that age. Also, I put two kids in college and lost both of my parents, so I'm no longer somebody's daughter...
...like Sartre doing "The Lockhorns." In one typical example, the objects in their apartment simply begin fading away, including Jordan. "I'm fading into oblivion," he tells Amy, "just a bad memory that you will soon forget." The transcendent ingenuity of "A+J" combines laughable cartoonish miseries with sometimes-profound metaphors for such subjects as the transience of objects and memory...
