...Subsequent to 9/11," says Greengrass, an Englishman who directed the superb docudrama Bloody Sunday, set in Northern Ireland in 1972, and the gritty espionage film The Bourne Supremacy, "we all had to make decisions about the world we live in, about the courses of action that we take. This film is saying that, before we got to that, there was this event: this extraordinary work of fate, mired in confusion, with the passengers gaining knowledge of 9/11 as they went. What that did was create a debate on the plane: What are we going to do? Are we going...
...There’s no blame. Just a heckuva ballgame. You know, you gotta get on the board. And we didn’t.” In game one, Haviland fed the Quakers a steady diet of curveballs, confounding the opposition with a spot-on delivery and superb control. He produced a nearly identical line—seven-inning complete game, seven strikeouts, only one run allowed—to the one he served Princeton in a 4-1 victory on April 1.

...social model. At worst we'll end up with a lame "appeasement" like the one that led France to humiliating defeat in 1940. Failing to rein in public spending for fear of displeasing those who use and abuse it would amount to precisely that today. In Strange Defeat, a superb essay written in the aftershock of France's capitulation in 1940, the historian Marc Bloch wrote: "Let us have the courage to admit what has just been vanquished in ourselves: it is our cherished small-town ways. The languid passage of the days, the slowness of the buses, the sleepy...
