A Long Day, and Decade: The Week's Links

A touching remembrance of 9-11 by Scott Simon heard on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday.

From Leon Wieseltier:

It has been a wounding decade. Our country is frayed, uncertain, inflamed. There is hardship and dread in the land. In significant ways we are a people in need of renovation. But what rouses the mourner from his sorrow is his sense of possibility, his confidence in the intactness of the spirit, his recognition that there is work to be done.

In lighter news, a pretty good eight years for Esther Vergeer!
