...examined historical figure. Symbols are for newcomers and neophytes (for instance, babies have symbolic sight). Symbols have the effect of telling you what to think. Instead, Columbus Day should tell us what to think about. This October, we were thinking about boxcutters and anthrax and the little pocket of utter immorality in Afghanistan. This is the kind of historical bowel-loosener that makes Columbus (or logging in Alaska or animal cruelty or violence on television) seem like a pretty pathetic target for protest. Now that Sept. 11 is the official symbol of moral anachronism, Columbus Day can finally claim...
...chaos and horrific scenes of an unforgettable day. I will take this special issue and put it in a safe place. When my friends or relatives complain about minor, incidental inconveniences, I will retrieve it and place it on a table in front of them. I will not utter a word; it will speak for me. Thank you, TIME, for this brilliant but profoundly sad issue. JOE TROIANO Havertown...
Moussaoui was arrested Aug. 17 after an instructor at Pan Am International Flight Academy's facility in Eagan, Minn., became suspicious of his request for use of the flight simulator.

His instructor then alerted the FBI, and Moussaoui was arrested on immigration charges. It turned out that he has long been suspected in his native France of involvement in terrorist organizations, and the French had been seeking his extradition before Sept...
...neither of these things will absolve me from my utter failing as an American citizen. The primary duty of democratic citizens is to be cognizant and critical of their government’s policies and actions (critical not meaning unsupportive, but unwilling to accept on blind faith). I don’t have to know the exact battle plans, the sites of surprise attacks before they happen or the locations of secret missile bases. However, the argument that national security prevents my knowledge (and the public’s) of American military action in all cases is highly flawed...
...keeps us from getting at the truth. We tap out stories that are so balanced that they're largely useless in helping people see the world. ("While some say the deficit is worrisome, other argue that it's not a problem.") There's no reason journalists should idiotically feign utter neutrality in the wake of the 9/11 attack; that would be ridiculous. When network anchors use words like evil to describe what happened last week it's both obvious and appropriate...
