Give me a good musical anytime.

Apparently Chan Lowe and his wife agree. They took in “My Fair Lady” at Lincoln Center and he got a column out of the excursion for The Berkshire Eagle. It’s not about the famous play, but rather about “A lesson in life from the streets of New York” (the headline). You can look it up.

But if I could get to the city this week I would head for The Flea and one of the seven final off-Broadway performances of “A Blanket of Dust” including tonight’s at 7 and the Saturday matinee at 2. It takes on a real-life international tragedy that badly needs exposure, a job that has been assiduously avoided by our “free press.” (For details scroll down to entries for June 18 and 22 below.)

An exception to this journalistic avoidance was publication in WestView News of a guest column by a member of the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry. (For details scroll down to the entry for June 20 below.) This encouraging development is a side drama to the subject of the play on stage blocks away — searching for the truth behind the mass murders of September 11, 2001, that go on murdering every day.

My apologies to those who are tired of the repetition. Some things bear repeating.

Congratulations to WestView News publisher George Capsis, colleague Dusty Berke, and all who have written in comments about the column. And to everyone involved in the play including those who go see it.

Ten performances remain in the short run of “A Blanket of Dust” off-Broadway at The Flea including tonight’s at 7 and two Saturday matinees before it closes on June 30.

It’s a tragedy within the national tragedy, its protagonist, Diana Crane (played by Angela Pierce), described on the theater’s website as a modern-day Antigone. See more about the play in the June 18 entry below.

Four mixed reviews have appeared online. Three of them are linked at http://action.ae911truth.org/o/50694/t/0/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1390974.

As noted in the link above, media critic Mark Crispin Miller*, 9/11 family member Bob McIlvaine, playwright Richard Squires, and architect Bill Brinnier will discuss the play following the June 27 performance.

I echo Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth when they say “We encourage everyone who can make it to the Big Apple to come see this important play — and, if you attend on the 27th, to stay for the Q&A. We realize the majority of you live too far away to be there, so we’re filming the Q&A and will release the video shortly thereafter. In the meantime, you can urge your friends who are nearby to come enjoy this ‘thought-provoking,’ ‘masterful,’ ‘much needed’ production!”

Talking to a 9/11 Truth “skeptic,” i.e. one who accepts the government conspiracy theory, is like having x-ray vision into that person’s head (his/her thought processes). One commonly sees:

1. Unwillingness to continue thinking about 9/11. Having been convinced of the validity of the official story, one need not exert oneself further to ascertain the truth.

2. Factually wrong information, e.g. that World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 were “exoskeleton structures.” When confronted by easily verifiable contradictory facts such as that the towers were supported by massive interior columns, they either (a) insist their concept is right, or (b) after learning that the thickness of steel in the box columns decreases going up as the load decreases — pivot on a dime to point out an allegedly weak point in the correct model, e.g. “the planes targeted the most vulnerable points of the towers.” Or, “Defective steel was used in the main columns.”

3. Willingness to stretch common sense like Plastic Man, e.g. believing that Flight 93 (Pennsylvania) buried itself 300 or 500 feet in the ground. Crashing aircraft barely scar the ground. One hundred percent of bodies, seats, luggage are always recovered — as was not the case there. The idea of Flight 93 or any other passenger jetliner burying itself even 300 feet in the ground is totally fanciful — in reality, there could be no such thing.

As noted here the other day, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson addressed graduating cadets in mid-May at Virginia Military Institute. He didn’t mention the name of the president who dismissed him after 13 months as Secretary of State — or even the presidency.

Yet readers of reports from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post and a pair of syndicated columnists may be forgiven for thinking the VMI commencement speaker had one mission in his talk: to verbally attack President Trump.

* New York Times headline and first paragraph: “In Rebuke of Trump, Tillerson Says Lies Are a Threat to Democracy.”  “In a veiled rebuke of President Trump, former Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson warned on Wednesday that American democracy was threatened by a growing ‘crisis of ethics and integrity.’”

* From Washington Post’s first two paragraphs:  Tillerson “warned . . . that deceptive leaders and ‘alternative realities’ are a threat to democracy, an implicit critique of his former boss, President Trump…. He never mentioned Trump by name, but his meaning was clear.”

* Huffington Post headline and subhead: “Rex Tillerson Warns Grads of Living in ‘Alternative Realities’: Gee, wonder who he’s talking about.”

* Syndicated columnists Cokie and Steve Roberts: At VMI, “only after he was fired did Tillerson have the guts to say publicly what he really thought about a president who has no regard for facts. … [he] thus joined a small band of Republicans who have shaken free from suffocating influence to publicly state their true feelings about the president.”

The complete reports are all online.

The Robertses reported that Tillerson “thundered” the following (which he did in fact say):  “If our leaders seek to conceal the truth or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom.”

An unsigned online report by The Atlantic (which was accompanied by the  PBS NewsHour video of the full address) noted that Tillerson “emphasized the importance of truth” in the address, and it commented that “many interpreted [the speech] as a rebuke to President Trump.” But the Atlantic coverage was refreshingly nuanced. In addition to the passage just above (which the HuffPost also cited), it quoted these parts:

“An essential tenet of a free society, a free people, is access to the truth. A government structure and a societal understanding that freedom to seek the truth is the very essence of freedom itself. ‘You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.’ It is only by fierce defense of the truth and a common set of facts that we create the conditions for a democratic, free society, comprised of richly diverse peoples, that those free peoples can explore and find solutions to the very challenges confronting the complex society of free people.

“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom. This is the life of nondemocratic societies, comprised of people who are not free to seek the truth. . . .

“A responsibility of every American citizen to each other is to preserve and protect our freedom by recognizing what the truth is and is not, what a fact is and is not, and begin by holding ourselves accountable to truthfulness, and demand our pursuit of America’s future be fact-based, not based on wishful thinking; not hopeful outcomes made in shallow promises; but with a clear-eyed view of the facts as they are and guided by the truth that will set us free to seek solutions to our most daunting challenges. It is also that foundational commitment to truth and facts that binds us to other like-minded democratic nations, that we Americans will always deal with them from the same set of truths and facts. And it is truth that says to our adversaries, we say what we mean, and we mean what we say.

“When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth, even on what may seem the most trivial of matters, we go wobbly on America. If we do not as Americans confront the crisis of ethics and integrity in our society, and among our leaders in both the public and private sector, and regrettably at times even the nonprofit sector, then American democracy as we know it is entering its twilight years.”

Tillerson, who studied engineering as an undergraduate, shared with the graduates that “as a civil engineer” he appreciates the dictionary definition of “integrity” as “the state of being complete and whole.” He continued: “The structural integrity of this building … we know it has a complete and whole integrity, so we can feel comfortable sitting beneath these beams and this roof that it’s not going to end up down around our feet as we sit here.”

Considering how this graphic image can apply to the collapse of the World Trade Center skyscrapers nearly 17 years ago, it may not be entirely delusional to think Tillerson may be encouraging Americans to confront a crisis of ethics and integrity among news-media executives who have kept their reporters from exposing the falsehoods and impossibilities of the government’s accounts of the crimes of September 11, 2001.

Not everything said in greater D.C. is about how bad or dangerous a president Trump is, no matter what inside-the-beltway lifers say. Some coverage of the Tillerson speech may reveal a greater blindness among media scribes and talking heads that is dangerous to the Republic, including avoidance of taking on ugly truths about 9/11.

This nation needs peace and healing, but it will not come with a press determined to avoid reality and bury truth.

Among the college commencement addresses in the United States this spring was the one on May 16 by former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. What follows is most of the approximately 22-minute address, transcribed from a PBS NewsHour video recording on YouTube, where it appears in its entirety.

–   –   –

“I want to thank you for the kind invitation to be part of this very important day for all of you. I know it is important to you, I know it’s important to your families, to your friends, and so many others who have been part of supporting you in your journey and in this transitional moment in your lives.

“I know many of you also received your commissions to serve in all branches of the military. I want to thank you for that, but only for your willingness to serve, but the sacrifice of yourselves and family members that comes with your service. VMI prides itself on the development of citizen soldiers, and the act of your committing to this service due to no obligation to serve demonstrates why America’s all-volunteer forces are unmatched by any other fighting force in the world. Your willingness to put all on the line for the American idea, our form of democracy, our freedoms — and for no other reason — inspires those of us not in uniform to be good citizens, working for the prosperity and security of our families, our communities, and our country. In this way we honor your service.

“Others of you are on the threshold of entering the private sector. Some will pursue public service. Others will continue your education, [in] graduate studies elsewhere. Regardless of your next stop, the discipline, values and beginning of your development as a leader that you take with you from your time at VMI positions you very well in the starting blocks for the next phase of your life.

“In the midst of these celebrations today I also know that as you close out this phase of your life and prepare for the future that you’ll take time to thank the people who taught you along the way. Of course your teachers and professors, important as they are, but also your parents, your grandparents, your coaches, mentors, and others that helped you learn and succeed. Like no generation before you, more of you — most likely all of you — will be required to consider the entire world clearly and understand how your life and abilities can help address many of the shared global challenges confronting us.

“In 1975, more than 40 years ago, graduates such as myself and my classmates could afford to pretty much focus on our own nation and our own markets for opportunity and growth. Indisputably, that is no longer the case.

“I took my two all-day professional engineering exams with a post slide rule. I was given my first hand-held calculator, a TI 110, one year after I went to work for Exxon. It could add, it could subtract, it could multiply, it could divide … and amazingly it had a square root key. [Laughter.] I received one of the first desk top computers, a Macintosh, with a very blurry green screen, in 1983, eight years into my career.

“Fast-forward to the devices available to almost anyone the world over, I’ll leave it to you to contemplate the changes you will live through over the next 40 years. The most profound change that challenges our economic competitiveness and our national security is the proliferation of digital communications and transactions. Whether we like it or not, for better or for worse, our own innovations and inventions have connected our world in ways unimagined, and created economic and security interdependencies that we had not contemplated nor prepared ourselves to manage. The world has more or less been drug along by the technology rather that our political and business leaders shaping the role of these technologies. Digital highways and back roads are great enablers of good, and advance progress of humanity, but they are also ungoverned connections for the spread of evil ideologies and the know-how to organize the spread of the tools of terrorism all too easily.

“The great challenge confronting the global community of responsible nations is how to protect and preserve the freedoms of our society while enforcing the responsible and legitimate exercise of free speech. This is the challenge your generation will continue to confront.

“We must now see the present and the future in a global context. We must see the value of friends, and allies — allies born of shared sacrifices. One of America’s great advantages is we have many allies. Our adversaries — China, Russia, Iran, and the terrorist organizaions — have few. We must never take these long-held allies for granted. We must motivate and strengthen them, not just in our areas of complete agreement, but particularly in bridging our differences, both in trading relations and national security matters.

“Seeing the future in a global context means recognizing the rapid economic development taking place the world over, the dynamic populations that are growing in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and the challenges that will come from meeting the needs and recognizing the aspirations of billions of people on this planet. These global realities have created a new economic and national security set of pressures. Here at home these pressures have led to anxiety, fear about growth in foreign markets, about the global movement of jobs. We must acknowledge, however, that every nation has the right to aspire to a better quality of life, and that free trade and economic growth are the means by which opportunity is created for all people.

“Even today in this year 2018, 1.4 billion people live without access to electricity, to heat, and to provide light in their homes, cook their meals, clean their drinking water, power hospitals and schools. For these men and women and children, the innovation and technology that comes with economic growth means the difference between health and safety, sickness and death. Citizens in developed economies are coming to this realization. But many here at home still have a way to go to fully embrace the global economy, and to recognize that with these changes come both challenges and opportunities.

“This is the world you enter. It is a world in dramatic transition to change. As you look forward, your role in building a brighter future will depend on more than simply your education and your skills. Your contributions to society depend on a firm ethical foundation of personal and professional integrity.

“As I reflect upon the state of American democracy, I observe a growing crisis in ethics and integrity. Above the entrance to the main building of the campus of my alma mater in Austin, Texas, are inscribed the words, ‘Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’ It comes from the Book of John, Chapter 8, Verse 32. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

“The founders of our American democracy were, I believe many agree, … crafting the structure and the foundational documents … guided by divine inspiration if not divine intervention. The essential tenet of a free society, a free people, is access to the truth, a government structure and a societal understanding that freedom to seek the truth is the very essence of freedom itself. ‘You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’ It is only by fierce defense of the truth and a common set of facts that we create the conditions for a democratic, free society comprised of richly diverse peoples, that those free people can find and explore solutions to the very challenges confronting a complex society of free people.

“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom. This is the life of nondemocratic societies, comprised of people who are not free to seek the truth.

“We know them well … societies in Russia, China, Iran, North Korea … you can complete the list. The responsibility of every American citizen to each other is to preserve and protect our freedom by recognizing what truth is, and is not. What a fact is, and is not. And begin by holding ourselves accountable to truthfulness, and demand  our pursuit of America’s future be fact-based — not based on wishful thinking. Not hope-for outcomes based on shallow promises, but with a clear-eyed view of the facts as they are and guided by the truth that will set us free to seek solutions to our most daunting challenges.

“It is also that foundational commitment to truth and facts that binds us to other democratic nations — that we Americans will always deal with them from the same set of truths, and facts. And it is truth that says to our adversaries, ‘We say what we mean, and we mean what we say.’

“When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth — even on what may seem the most trivial of matters — we go wobbly on America. If we do not as Americans confront the crisis of ethics and integrity in our society, and among our leaders in both public and private sector, and regrettably at times even the nonprofit sector, then American democracy as we know it is entering its twilight years.

“As to the matter of integrity, I am familiar with VMI’s honor code. It was one of the reasons I looked so much forward to addressing you today. I know it is one of the first and most important elements every ‘rat’ is taught … is the basis upon which not just how to conduct oneself while at VMI, but it is the foundation upon which a VMI cadet stands apart from others. And at some point during your time here at VMI you realize that you adhere to the honor code not because it is a requirement to be a part of this place. Rather, you do it because you want to. For you’ve come to realize that without personal honor there is no leadership.

“But a warning to you as you leave this place, a place where the person sitting on either side of you shares that same understanding: You will now enter a world where, sadly, that is not always the case, and your commitment to this high standard of ethical behavior and integrity will be tested.

“While I’m fairly certain all of you have a common definition of the word ‘integrity,’ it’s always good to have a common understanding. One of Merriam-Webster’s definitions of integrity is ‘the state of being complete and whole.’ Now as a civil engineer I’ve always liked that definition, because I can relate to it through structural integrity — the state of being complete and whole. [Looking overhead.] The structural integrity of this building … we know it has a complete and whole integrity, so we can feel comfortable sitting beneath these beams and this roof that it’s not going to end up down around our feet as we sit here.

“Integrity is a critical building block of trust and cooperation. It makes it possible for different people of different organizations to work together to solve the world’s most complex problems. Regardless of industry, project, or task, integrity frees us in innovate, collaborate, and share over the long term. As the world becomes more interconnected and global challenges require sophisticated and integrated solutions, the value of integrity only grows in importance. In every sector, integrity will be the key to unlocking high-impact technologies, new ways to conduct business, and new approaches to solve our most vexing geopolitical challenges that will make the world brighter for generations to come. We do not have to look far to find examples of the cost to individuals and to society when integrity is sacrificed for immediate gain or personal achievement. Such damage strikes at the very heart of a free society. It undermines the public trust in institutions and the overwhelming number of individuals and organizations who do live by the rules every day.

“It is a fact of life that most individuals want to make a postive difference in the world in which we live. After all, you’ve worked very hard and you’ve sacrificed much to get where you are. If you want your efforts to mean something beyond just a job, the next advancement in rank or promotion, it is true that your education will play a part in your future success. But if you truly want to build a brighter future for the world you must make the decision to live a life of integrity. Your knowledge and abilties will not florish without ethical behavior and strong moral fiber. Choosing a life of integrity provides a wealth of blessings and benefits. It gives us a true pathway to do the right things the right way every time, whether or not anyone’s looking. Such discipline is the true source of progress in a modern civilization because it is a commitment to see our actions as part of a broader social fabric of cooperation and mutual advancement.

“In your career you will have occasions where it may appear easier to make a short cut. The pressure that you feel may come from within, that you need to impress others or that you need to have all the answers. Unfortunately, it can come from your own organization, or directly from a supervisor or a coworker. These pressures can be particularly keen in the early stages of your career, pushing you toward decisions before the consequences are apparent. Commiting yourselves to a life of integrity and reminding yourselves of that commitment often can give you the strength you need to resist the easy path that leads to poor results or even ruin.

“It is important to remember that leadership is not a position or title. Becoming a leader is what happens to those who embrace a life of integrity. As you grow in your career and your personal integrity will draw people to you, your coworkers will come to rely on your humble, well-informed insights. Your supervisors will come to trust you because of your self-discipline. As you take on more responsibility and gain experience, your personal integrity will naturally evolve into managerial integrity. You will exemplify what the best leaders demand from their people until you yourself become a leader.

“I never aspired to be chairman and CEO of the Exxon Mobil Corporation. My wife will tell you I achieved my objectives in about 1992. I was 40 years old. I’d become division manager with responsibilities over a large part of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado. All I ever wanted to do. It was the best job I ever had. It’s all been downhill since. [General laughter and applause from the cadets.]

“But … but at some point you begin to recognize that you have the capacity to do more and contribute more. Not just for your own personal benefit, but for your organization. When senior managers begin acting on behalf of their people, that’s when I would see them really knock it out of the park.

“You are going to have a great life. Some of those days are going to be good days. Some of them are going to be bad days. What I always reminded myself is not getting overly euphoric on the good days and don’t get overly despondent on the bad days.

“I was recently going through some of my father’s papers — he passed away a couple months ago — and I ran across a page. It said it was Buck’s Beatitudes. It was ten items. J. F. “Buck” Burshears was scoutmaster of a troop of Indian boys in Colorado, back in the Fifties and Sixties. I picked three of  his beatitudes out because I think it would be good to carry with you when I talked about those good days and bad days: So I got three that I cite from Buck’s Beatitudes: ‘Blessed is the man who can see you make a fool of yourself and doesn’t think you’ve done a permanent job.’ ‘Blessed is the man who does not try to blame all of his failures on someone else.’ ‘And blessed is the man that can say that the boy that he was can would be proud of the man he is.’

“So you maintain and protect who you are, and remember that being a person with integrity is the most valuable asset you have. Don’t ever let anyone take it from you. Carefully consider the values and the culture of the organizations in which you seek to work. Look for employers who set high standards for personal conduct, and who reward ethical leadership. Identify mentors who exemplify integrity and leadership excellence. Developing as a leader largely comes from also practicing good followership. See how the leaders you are following carry themselves, how they manage their responsibilities. Study how they communicate and make decisions. Observe how they learn from mistakes or missteps, their own and those of others.

“Importantly, recognize that integrity is not unique to any one culture. No matter where you are in the world, integrity and good character are recognized and prized by every great faith, and every great tradition. Integrity means managing our lives in a way and focuses on the ideals that unite us as people.

“In summary, I’ve lived a happy life. I want you to have a happy life too.

“So I return to the definition of integrity: the state of being complete and whole. Absent a life of integrity, no human being can live a life that’s complete and whole. Living a life of integrity, perhaps we have a chance.

“God bless all of you and your loved ones in the days ahead. And God bless the United States of America.

Commentary related to the above address may appear in a future entry of this blog.

— Mark

In a panel yesterday in New York City, members of the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry discussed their “Petition for a Grand Jury Investigation Into the Crimes of 9/11.”  

Moderator Les Jamison interviewed two of the Committe’s lawyers, Mick Harrison and Dave Meiswinkle. (A third, Julio Gomez, could not attend.)  

What follows is from the first 12 minutes or so of the 90-plus minutes of the discussion, transcribed from a livestream archive:

–   –   –

MEISWINKLE: A most egregious crime was committed in this city and throughout the country sixteen, seventeen years ago, and it’s never been properly addressed. The evidence has never been put forth before an objective body to look at. What we’re interested in is transparency and accountability in government, which hasn’t happened, and as we proceed through the day and the evidence, you’ll see that transparency and accountability does not exist as far as this crime. This crime was never properly investigated. And we want that done. Period.

JAMISON: At the Justice In Focus Symposium the Lawyers Committee received testimony from several expert witnesses. Can you describe the scope of this testimony and what you consider to be the high points?

HARRISON: So I’ll describe the start and then Dave can supplement. We’ll get into some of the details later, but we heard testimony from a number of scientists, engineers, architects — some of you may have been there — 2016, here in New York.

We focused on forensic evidence in a broad sense, and also forensic evidence in a narrow sense. We heard eyewitness testimony summarized by Graham MacQueen . . . .

Some of you may know that a large number of firefighters who survived 9/11, first responders, were actually interviewed on the record within a few months afterwards by the Fire Department of New York and their testimonies have been preserved. The New York Times, in an FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request, obtained those testimonies, and if you can read them for yourself and we encourage you to do it.

But we heard a lot of details from the eyewitnesses, not just the firefighters. We also heard expert testimony from chemists, architects, engineers, at least one physics teacher — I’m probably leaving somebody out. And you’ll hear details of that later. And you can hear … a third category, which I call anomalies, which are basically unexpected, irregular, suspicious events that may not be as much direct evidence as the laboratory analyses or direct testimony or the eyewitnesses but nonetheless do inform our analysis on the event.

Do you have something you would like to add, Dave?

MEISWINKLE: Just that the evidence that was produced shows, we believe conclusively, that pre-placed explosives, bombs or incendiaries, were used to bring the buildings down. The official story that we’ve lived with thus far [is] that office fires brought the buildings down. And our investigation that the Lawyers Committee has done, [about which] Mick has just mentioned some of the areas of investigation or expertise, claims otherwise.   And that’s why we need to bring it before a grand jury, which is a body made up of 16 to 23 people. Twelve people have to do for an indictment, et cetera. But that’s what we want to do … bring it before a grand jury.

A recording of the whole discussion is available online (see entry below). More information on the petition is at https://lcfor911.org/

The following article is from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth:

Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry to Discuss Grand Jury Petition

Donate Any Amount to View the June 2nd Livestream During or After

“This Saturday, June 2nd, at noon Eastern / 9 a.m. Pacific, three representatives of the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry will participate in a panel discussion at the Left Forum in New York City titled “Petition for Grand Jury Investigation Into the Crimes of 9/11.”

“Attorneys Mick Harrison, Julio Gomez, and Dave Meiswinkle will discuss the petition they filed last month, which demands that the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York present evidence of unprosecuted federal crimes at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, to a special grand jury.

“Given the tremendous interest in this effort and our strong support for it, AE911Truth is facilitating a livestream of this panel discussion so that supporters all over the world can hear from the authors of the petition and learn what’s next. Those viewing the livestream will even be able to submit questions to the moderator, which the speakers will address at the end of the discussion.

“Simply donate whatever you can afford — $20 is suggested, but any amount less or more than $20 is appreciated — and we will send you, 24 hours in advance, a link and a passcode to our livestream page on AE911Truth.org, where you’ll be able to tune in live. Also, the livestream will be instantly archived for 10 days so you can arrive late, watch again, watch later, or pick up any pieces that you missed.

“All donations will go to the No Lies Foundation / No Lies Radio, a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to cover the costs of providing the livestream.”

The “majority” of automobile pilots whizzing by during our walk “showed
no reaction”? No, that’s not quite right. The true “non-reactors” did not
seem to notice us at all, did not look at us, navigated in relaxed
postures, gave us reasonable clearance, but acted as though we were mere
obstacles in the road.

Outnumbering N-Rs were more anxious pilots looking tense, gripping the
steering wheel tightly as though by maintaining tight control of their
cars they maintained control of their “lives.” They tended to scrutinize
us incredulously but then continue without further reaction.

Neither category seemed conversant with 9/11 one way or the other;
probably most of them “defaulted” to the official version of terrorists
and “Airplane hit building, building fall down.”
