...Using interviews with Petit and his pals, what stills and stock footage as exist and a lot of recreations, he makes something reasonably suspenseful out of the logistics of this not-so-merry band gathering their equipment, rehearsing Petit's act and sneaking into the WTC. But the tightrope walk is a letdown; the conspirator who had a movie camera up there on the roof forgot to turn it on. So the big climax - man on very high wire (or should we say dead man walking?) - is pretty thin stuff. This visual paucity reinforces the feeling that...
...Francisco Bay. When I moved to Boston, folding the new streets and sounds into my daily life made me feel even farther away from home than I already felt, but it only took me a few days here to memorize and embrace the regular features of my walk to work: the cracks in the tiled sidewalk, the passing of the 201 bus that no one ever rides, the house with the bright blue door just before the final street crossing. They were all new to me, but of course they had always been waiting here. Not for me, though. Just...
...Berlin police estimated at more than 200,000, which had gathered in the city's central park, the Tiergarten, and stretched toward the Brandenburg Gate, about a mile away, where Reagan had spoken.

...good thing, because that?s today. The things we could do when I was a kid or even why my kids were kids, you can?t do today.

I think people who say that?s the way it used to be-well it did used to be, but it?s not that way anymore and this...
...many of the 540,000 residents of El Paso, Texas, life these past four weeks has been noticeably less stressful. They have enjoyed less traffic on their streets. They have been able to walk and drive through downtown without being accosted by panhandlers, windshield washers and purse-snatching kids. Crowds have been fewer in many stores and restaurants. This sudden change is the result of an unprecedented ironfisted blockade of the El Paso-Mexico border by the U.S. Border Patrol. Agents posted around the clock along a 20-mile stretch of the Rio Grande have virtually sealed off entry...
