.... And not above milking the so-far story of the century. I can imagine relatives of those who died in the World Trade Center towers peering at the photos
of those shown standing on window ledges, hoping not to recognize slightly those who would shortly jump rather than stay to burn to
death or suffocate, or collapse with the towers. Of what journalistic use was this spread except to invoke yet again the horror and pain of
a disastrous crime -- the other, dark side of thrill-seeking. What is it meant to incite except emotions?
I guess I'll soon be instructed.
