"[This book] embodies the Buddhist wisdom about change, life, and the
world more than anything written after the events of that day."

OBAMA: "SPIRIT OF UNITY"

President Obama, in today’s radio address, discusses the twin impulses of unity and compassion that Americans exhibited in the months after the 9/11 attacks a decade ago: “Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11…. We were united, and the outpouring of generosity and compassion reminded us that in times of challenge, we Americans move forward together, as one people."

I sense this spirit in the air, in fact, as Hurricane Irene approaches the city and neighbors and friends reach out to one another.

...9/11 DOCUMENTARY TO BE RE-BROADCAST. On Sunday night, September 11, 2011, CBS will air an updated version of our Emmy-winning documentary, 9/11, to be hosted again by Robert DeNiro. The special two-hour program, created by Jules and Gedeon Naudet, with James Hanlon, and CBS's team, headed by Susan Zirinsky, will examine what has happened to the firefighters of Engine 7, Ladder 1, providing a first glimpse inside the 9/11 Memorial Center.

ALSO… I'd like to point out a new work of revelatory scholarship and insight by Greg Mitchell that will speak to all of those concerned about the lessons of the nuclear age: Atomic Cover-Up: Two U.S. Soldiers, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and The Greatest Movie Never Made.
