...fair to compare Sept. 11 with a street crime or even Oklahoma City. After all, these recent attacks involved an orchestrated, simultaneous security breach on four airplanes, carried out by 19 men who had been living and training on our soil. A better comparison might be past international terrorist attacks and plane crashes. Those that have been resolved--and that's a major distinction--do show higher payouts than the average amount likely to come out of the Sept. 11 federal fund...
...Brookner’s untitled collages (1998) and her “Speaking Moss II” (2000, cardboard engraving with monotype) are both full of strange perspectives and vaguely threatening jaws with toothy mouths.

So resented were the years of foreign domination and so unpopular was the United States’ presence that the Philippine constitution still does not allow foreign combat forces onto Philippine soil. While the United States and the Philippines conduct joint training missions annually, there remains a great deal of animosity amongst the Philippine people toward American combat troops. This is yet another reason that the American forces must remain an advisory body rather than a combat contingent; the last thing America wants...
