...Highlight Reel:1. On walking through downtown Manhattan on 9/11 after years of reporting in Afghanistan: "Walking in, watching the flames shoot upward, the first thing I thought was that I was back in the Third World. My countrymen were going to think that this was the worst thing that had ever happened, the end of civilization. In the Third World, this sort of thing happened every day: earthquakes, famines, plagues ... All those street vendors who worked near the World Trade Center, from all those different countries, selling falafel and schwarma. When they heard the planes and watched the towers...
...inquest marks the first public scrutiny of a "shoot-to-kill" tactic, which London police have maintained was the only way to protect citizens from a suicide bomber.

...class, it comes with an automatic PHD (push here, dummy) mode, which takes gorgeous photos--up to four a second. Every aspect of taking a picture can also be isolated and tweaked, satisfying even the pro. Indeed, Kupcake was so blown away, he might buy one himself. "I could shoot professionally with this frickin' camera," he said, looking at me sadly. With digital cameras improving so fast and getting so cheap, so could...
