...World Trade Center is on fire," the gravelly-voiced conductor said over the intercom. "All service to Cortlandt Street has been suspended. All persons are advised to stay out of the area. I repeat. Do not go near the World Trade Center...
...idea to repeat a line from the 19th century French anarchist thinker Pierre-Joseph Prou-dhon: ?The fecundity of the unexpected far exceeds the prudence of statesmen.? America, in the spasms of a few hours, became a changed country. It turned the corner, at last, out of the 1990s. The menu of American priorities was rearranged. The presidency of George W.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres are scheduled to meet sometime this week, probably at the Erez border crossing between Israel and Gaza. And that prompted Palestinian militants at the weekend to repeat a familiar pattern of launching a frenzy of attacks as a form of "veto" over any new moves towards a cease-fire. Five Israelis were killed and 80 wounded in two separate suicide bombings and a drive-by shooting on Saturday, and Israel responded Sunday with missile strikes on Palestinian installations...
