...American colossus had been laid bare. The desperate decisions of some World Trade Center employees to leap to their deaths rather than burn in the flames, the heartrending phone calls of the doomed passengers on the fateful flights, the apocalyptic tsunami of dust that engulfed lower Manhattan as the Twin Towers imploded and fell--this was America's waking nightmare...
...pervasive a media presence--the black glasses, the Polish accent, the inexhaustible cheer--that you half expected a spiky Libeskind tower to erupt soon on every street corner.
