...difficult to envision how those who were extricated from the fiery heap survived. Like Genelle, two Port Authority cops were buried but not mortally wounded by hurtling chunks of stone and metal--even as people in close proximity were killed. Pasquale Buzzelli--who worked with Genelle on the 64th floor and was also in stairway B at 10:28 a.m.--fell when the stairwell broke under him but somehow landed atop a rickety pile of debris. These four were rescued before they were burned in creeping fires or crushed in mini-collapses in the later hours of Sept...
...found, she thinks. She prays more, and then she opens her eyes and hears voices. "I'm here!" she screams as loud as she can. "Hey! I'm right here!" A rescue worker responds, "Do you see the light?" She doesn't, so she bangs a chunk of stone against the concrete over her. The rescuers find the noise. When she reaches her left hand out through an opening, one of the workers can grab it. OH GOD, THANK...
...Qaeda sniper in particular was getting on Perez's nerves. Hiding 500 yards away, he'd come out shooting--and he seemed to be spotting for a mortar unit. He'd wave and flip his middle finger at the Americans before ducking back inside his stone nest.

Higley squeezed off rounds as Perez...
...defend freedom. There should be a museum and a library. Those who visit should be able to relive the experience in a way that does justice to the enormity of the events. The memorial should echo the goals of the city's Museum of Jewish Heritage, which sits a stone's throw away. The purpose of that museum is to demonstrate the horror of the Holocaust as well as celebrate the survival and strength of the Jewish people. Done correctly, the memorial at ground zero will commemorate the horror and the heroism of Sept...
...Paul Verhoeven, who reports that he communicated with Riefenstahl by mail and through the producer on the project. "The producer told me she said, 'Jodie's not beautiful enough to play me,'" Verhoeven informs TIME. She suggested a different, icier blond: "Leni's ultimate idea of herself is Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct" (one of Verhoeven's films). He adds that a contract Riefenstahl signed with the producer stipulates "that any affair between her and Hitler or her and Goebbels would be prohibited onscreen." That way, at least the film would have a shot at a PG-13 rating...
