...since Sept. 11. Consistently, we have been told to resume our regular routines in a sign of solidarity and strength. The day after the attacks, we were instructed by our government officials, and by the president of this University, to get back to work so that Osama bin Laden, would- be terrorists and the whole world would witness our resolve. So the first battle we were asked to fight in this war against terrorism was to fight our own fear. Instead of fear for ourselves and our loved ones, we have had to be brave for our country...

Minutes after bin Laden's latest tape was aired, Ross was taking...

In her soft Texas voice, Beers, 66, described the centerpiece of her effort, a just-completed 24-page booklet, available in print and on the Internet, in 14 languages, which features graphic pictures of the Sept. 11 attack, and uses bin Laden's own words to accuse him of masterminding it. She is also working with the Ad Council to create a poster to be plastered all over Arab countries when the current $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of the Most Wanted Terrorists goes to $25 million.
