Bush needs to speak out enough about the slowdown so voters don't think he's detached, his advisers say, but he shouldn't talk about it so much that he keeps the woe on the front page--or worse, adds to darkening consumer sentiment. It's an imprecise balance. In speeches he talks more about how he will "work hard" to get things done in Washington--a reaction to lingering criticism of his 28-day vacation.

We don't know yet how many of them died, but once we know, as Mayor Rudy Giuliani said, "it will be more than we can bear." That sentiment was played out in miniature in the streets, where fleeing victims pulled the wounded to safety, and at every hospital, where the lines to give blood looped round and round the block. At the medical-supply companies, which sent supplies without being asked. At Verizon, where a worker threw...
