Many thanks, Susan. This year more than in the past -- perhaps due to the Oliver Stone film and the Heathrow airliner plot -- the emphemeral malaise that inevitably drifts like the final fragments of a shredding dream over the city as 9/11 approaches seems somehow more palpable. Several of my friends have told me of crying jags that seem to materialize from nowhere. I know how they feel -- it is very much like the onset of a depressive episode. 9/11 in New York has become a religious observance of sorts -- but not one necessarily associated with any particular faith. It is more about the rituals of mourning associated with all faiths. As an Irish Catholic, I suppose I bring my own religious lexicon to the task of trying to express the inexpressable. Atticus
