VDARE
reports: Howard Sutherland is (we think) the last member
of VDARE’s New York family to report in after
yesterday’s terrorist attacks. We hope to resume posting
tomorrow.

I am fine; many thanks for asking.
My office is a block from where WTC was (!), looking
across at it, so I saw everything, including all the
falling people. I heard what sounded like a low-level
fighter, so looked out in time to get a good look at the
first jet in. As you can imagine, after that we didn't
look away for long until the buildings collapsed and we
all ran for the stairwell. Our building got smoky and
dirty; no more. When I went to give blood, they asked
all military types to help with rescue. Unfortunately,
after hours of aimless milling about, it became obvious
that no-one was going to use us for anything, so most of
us went home. I hope John was uptown and well out of
it.
Thank you for the law review
article [on the citizenship
clause of the 14th Amendment], it looks
great and has some arguments relevant to the recent
mail. I'm a little too flustered to read it
intelligently just now, though.
