Painting over the fear

Students and locals join forces to send a patriotic message

The Harris family never misses church, but yesterday, standing atop "A-Mountain", they felt this particular Sunday called for a different kind of service.

Lisa Harris, along with her husband and two young daughters, was one of more than 70 Tucsonans and University of Arizona students who teamed up yesterday morning to paint "A-Mountain" red, white and blue - a patriotic tribute to the country after Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C.

Nearly 25,000 people gathered to display their patriotism by creating a human flag Saturday morning at Tucson Electric Park. Pictures of the flag will be made into postcards to be sent to the families in and around New York City, and will be put onto a billboard in New York City as a way to display Arizona's support for the victims.

Letters to the Editor

U.S. not always the good guys

In his piece, "It's time to take it personally," (Friday) Shane Dale exemplifies perfectly the naïve assumptions about U.S. foreign policy that most Americans maintain. Neither our educational system nor our corporate media ever let us know what's really going on overseas, although all the evidence is there if you somehow, spontaneously develop a desire to seek the information yourself.

Dancing away the pain

Where to begin?

Only a week ago I wrote a frivolous column comparing Tucson to New York. And now an unprecedented tragedy has ripped a great yawning hole through the heart of that city and thousands of its citizens. Life in the United States seems to have changed forever, as much from the new climate of fear and insecurity as from the sheer terror of the event itself.
