...Ridge had a basically Rogersian task - getting Americans to accept a terrible eventuality that they could not prevent. So Homeland Security offered a slogan - Don't Be Afraid ... Be Ready - which seemed immediately preposterous to citizens who (having grown up on Mister Rogers) knew that being afraid is normal, reasonable...
...rightly observed, any attempt to sustain truthful speech was lost as soon as the word war was used to describe the events of Sept. 11. What happened on that day was not war; it was murder. In his rush to assure the American people that everything could return to normal, President Bush declared a "war on terrorism." Oddly, knowing we are at war makes many Americans feel safe.

But everyone could see the difference in the line’s coordination after it was returned to its normal configuration. Passes were crisper, set-ups more frequent, and Bernakevitch made his presence most known along the boards, where he worked hard both nights digging the puck out and finding an open teammate for a setup pass...
...semi-surprising turn of events, all four members of the class of 2003 saw playing time. Center Aaron Kim was in his normal spot, anchoring coach Mark Mazzoleni’s energy line. Brett Nowak was in his customary spot as well, in the middle of the Crimson’s top line, and in the scorebooks, with a goal and an assist to his credit...
...bead works like a tiny solar cell, turning light into electricity. And the material not only produces energy cleanly, but the silicon used is itself a waste product of the microchip industry. The flexible solar cells come into production next year. "The new material is far more robust than normal glass-based solar cells," says Dan Davies, an engineer at Solar Century, a London-based renewable energy company, "and it could also lead to a new flexibility in building design or be incorporated into consumer electronics." The University of Waterloo in Canada is anxious to use Spheral solar cells...
