I believe  -also not wishing to be unpatriotic because with that crazy
hymn-singing bastard Ashcroft as Attorney General, I might get deported-
some gold was rescued, and in the process a large number of NYC
firefighters rather unceremoniously pushed out of the way by private
security guards and what Public Television viewers like to kid
themselves we English call "peelers" or "bobbies".  Actually when I was
growing up there we called them "scuffers" or the "filth".

Uh, not to be 'unpatriotic, but what rescues at the WTC would those have
been?

P.S. And, yes, the pieces are quite amazing.

there's a big fat hands/tool ad on the back of the newest atlantic
monthly.  salgado and an M7.  i remember that salgado previously used
R6.2's.  i wonder if he's switched or was just used for an M7 ad because
of his fame.

incidentally, this atlantic is the second installment of william
langewiesche's "american ground" series, about the rescue, recovery, and
cleanup at the world trade center.  it has thusfar been one of the
finest pieces of journalism i've read in my long life as a reader.
langewiesche got full, virtually unrestricted access to the entire
operation for months on end.  he has the stuff we've seen no where else.
