...backpack with rotting fruit...Fairweather fan Antonia C. Kandu ‘02 still hasn’t noticed that the Series is over. “Mmm, Derek, baby,” she moaned, staring at her life-size Derek Jeter poster. “You can squat behind my plate anytime,” she whispered huskily, unaware that Jeter plays shortstop, not catcher...

The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, planted at the base of Manhattan island with the Statue of Liberty as their sentry, and the Pentagon, a squat, concrete fort on the banks of the Potomac, are the sanctuaries of money and power that our enemies may imagine define us.
