NEW YORK (AP) - For the U.S. military, bombing or rocketing mobile targets
like tanks, trucks - and suspected terrorists - has been a frustrating
problem.
Often, a target captured by surveillance photos disappears before a
commander can give the order to fire. In 1998, U.S. authorities believe,
Osama bin Laden departed an encampment in Afghanistan just a few hours
before a barrage of U.S. cruise missiles demolished it.

by John Miller
Beyond the haunting presence of thousands presumed dead, the rubble at
ground zero is rich with treasure, art, secrets, drugs and guns.
Six World Trade Center housed several law enforcement agencies including
U.S. Customs and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Somewhere in
the rubble are safes containing guns, heroine, cocaine and ecstasy.
Specifically, the ATF office had two gun vaults filled with not only ATF
tactical weapons but also guns that were evidence in crimes.

criminals might go free, The Post has learned.
Offices of the Secret Service, U.S. Customs and the Bureau of Alcohol,

for scores of ongoing cases was kept in vaults there, federal
law-enforcement sources said.

Backup systems passed trying test

by Justin Gillis
NEW YORK -- As people fled the ruins of Lower Manhattan on that fateful
morning, some of the first urgent phone calls from this stricken city went
to an innocuous building across the Hudson River.
Workers swung into action. By noon on Sept. 11, as America was still
absorbing the magnitude of the attack, white panel vans loaded with backup
computer tapes from a northern New Jersey site were rolling down the highway
to corporate emergency centers. And within hours, some of the country's
biggest financial enterprises -- their offices vacated or reduced to smoking
piles of rubble -- were back in business.

Buried Boxes held old papers

by Jennifer Lange
It sounded shady - boxes of city records buried about 5 feet deep at the
Phenix City landfill, dug up by police officers the day the new city
administration took office.
But the six boxes unearthed with a bulldozer shortly after noon Monday
contained just what former City Manager Bobby Gaylor said they did - his old
paperwork, the originals of which are filed at City Hall.

other libraries, where they were often forgotten.

of Animals in its months-long effort to learn about city plans to create a
dolphin exhibit at the Virginia Marine Science Museum.

left his home in Flatbush for his job in Manhattan as a trip planner for the
Automobile Club of New York. He tuned his radio to WMCA 570 and told his

when Game 3 of the Dodgers-Giants playoff reached the bottom of the ninth

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/30/movies/30HAY.html

by David Hay
LOS ANGELES - Fritiz Lang's futuristic 1927 film "Metropolis" opens with a
view of a skyscraper-filled city. Beneath the Cubist towers, bursts of steam
pour from the giant streamlined engines that power this new urban society.
Soon we see legions of workers marching into elevators that take them below
ground to the powerhouses. Their faces are downturned. Their shoulders are
hunched over in abject protest.

by Reed Abelson
Nine years ago, the Securities and Exchange Commission moved into three
floors at 7 World Trade Center, where it and its 320 employees sent a clear
signal that the nation's securities cop was very much on the beat.
All the employees escaped unharmed on Sept. 11, but the offices were
destroyed, as were files containing depositions, trading records and other
documents for several hundred cases. They ranged from a sweeping
investigation into initial public offerings underwritten by major brokerage
firms, like Credit Suisse First Boston (news/quote), to the commission's
pursuit of what it calls boiler-room operations.

by Marilyn Henry
This message from 1914 is but one item in a treasure of Jewish archives from
the Diaspora may soon be displaced for lack of space.
The letter to Henry Morgenthau was an appeal to his power as the US
ambassador to Turkey and a subtle petition to his Jewish soul. David Yellin,
in January 1914, asked Morgenthau to use his influence with the sultan in
Constantinople to help the Jews buy the area around the Western Wall.
