    Vincent, Philip -- many thanks.

    Drove past the Pentagon this morning early still smoking badly. How much
    more real to see it in person than on the little screen. And by coincidence
    this afternoon I'll be driving past Manhatten and will see the new skyline
    there, two teeth missing like a prize fighter that has taken a beating.

    News media and politicicos still not asking 'why' this happened, so the
    lessons are unlikely to be learned and the situation ripe for further
    incidents of terrorism. Alas. I am going to try and prod 'why' questions and
    discussion.

    Back in a few days.

    Thanks again,
    Lawrence
