I join people worldwide in being deeply saddened by the events of 9-11. My heart and concerns also go out to all who survived those terrifying events, who were covered in the dust, breathing the smoke, whose homes and workplaces are ladened with debris. I shudder when I see the courageous rescuers working without proper protective respirators . . .
