...world, of course, remembered him as the three-year-old standing in front of his father's coffin after the services in St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington and lifting his chubby arm in salute. He knew, but maybe he did not know. Millions never forgot...
Julie Karp doesn't know how the little bloodsuckers got into her three-year-old daughter's hair. None of the other kids at Michelle's preschool had them.

In Del City, Monica Hicks wandered the vacant lot that had been her home and remarked, "I knew it would be bad, but I didn't prepare myself for this. My three-year-old said, 'Mommy, the tornado ate our house.'" Hicks spotted a pink plastic Cadillac on the ground with a doll at the wheel and broke into a loopy, exhausted grin.
