On this ninth-anniversary week of the 9/11 attacks, I was moved by this observation from Nikki Stern on her blog 1 Woman's Vu. Stern's husband James Potorti perished on September 11, 2001.

Stern is also the author of the new book Because I Say So: The Dangerous Appeal of Moral Authority.

Also, I highly recommend David Dunlap’s New York Times piece this weekend on the rapid and long-overdue rise of the World Trade Center Complex, along with the interactive display on the website of the Times.

Finally, please have a gander at Nicholas Kristof’s Times op-ed piece on the Ground Zero mosque controversy, “America’s History of Fear.”
