Hard not to get teary eyed at some of the voice mails transcribed from people on the hijacked planes and reactions in general to what was happening. Very comprehensive. The pace of the quoted conversations and recollections are just relentless, from Dick Cheney down to the smallest page at Congress trying to figure out where to park the giant flag container she was responsible for that day ....running down the Mall with them.
Particularly moving were the calls coming from Flight 93 - they had cell contact and were sometimes conversing with loved ones.
Pretty brave the bunch that forced that crash.

—a book for Tero
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
