The sheer volume of fine prose and serious thinking that soon appeared in our Reader's Forum made choosing the ten best responses a very difficult job indeed. But we were not deterred - in fact, we were inspired by the numerous tales of personal bravery, heroism, and courage. Please read the official contest rules carefully. Midnight, May 15, 2001.
Submissions are via e-mail only.
Any entries received by us after the deadline will be ineligible to win. Participants can only submit one entry and winners will be chosen by a panel of judges from entries, on May 18, 2001.
