...heard of. Rescorla's many friends - from his Army days on - have been advocating a Presidential Medal of Freedom for him. But that has gone nowhere, because to celebrate his achievements and sacrifices on 9/11 calls attention to those - at the Port Authority and elsewhere - who got it all wrong. Steven R.

...convenience. For bikes to become a mainstay of the morning rush, cities need to spend time and money expanding bike fleets and making streets safer for two-wheelers. That means creating dedicated bike lanes and ticketing cars that double-park in them. (Swing open a door at the wrong time, and a cyclist could get seriously injured.) Washington has spent the past seven years installing more than 30 miles (48 km) of bike lanes--officials are looking into building more that are set apart from regular traffic by concrete barriers, Parisian style--and has safety campaigns to help cyclists...
...phrase has become more broadly the term for a particular category of campaign tactics and has even become a verb. To "swift-boat" somebody is to use these tactics against him or her.

From the President on down, Americans are at least thinking - openly - about what went wrong, and why, and what can be learned from it. The latest issue of Foreign Affairs has a long article by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the national interest. If not always convincing, it is an effort to explain why specific ways of looking at the world keep cropping up among American policymakers, decade after decade. Rice joins - to name but a handful of luminaries...
