...frenzy? The Transportation Security Administration, the agency that took over airport security from the FAA on Feb. 17, has added teeth to a Transportation Department zero-tolerance policy. That was the goal when Congress created the TSA last year. And now security staff members angling for the 30,000 jobs the TSA plans to fill in the coming months are working hard to appear conscientious. The TSA starts naming permanent security directors in a handful of airports as soon as next week...
...delivery drivers carry wireless debit-card machines so customers can pay when their computers arrive, a system that solves the credit-card problem. Today, Dell offers next-day delivery from its factory in Xiamen to 400 cities and towns. And Dell's China market share has grown from near zero in 1998 to 4.4%. That may not sound impressive, but Dell has eclipsed Compaq and is pressing IBM for the top foreign-brand position.

There are the fire fighters of Engine 7, Ladder 1 (all of them, amazingly, survived), whom we meet as gruff wise guys and leave--through the Naudets' exclusive access to ground zero in the first days of the recovery operation--as war veterans. And there are the brothers, who shot tirelessly on Sept. 11, even though, until tearfully reunited that night, each believed the other was dead. "You have to do something," explains Gedeon.
