Remember

It’s 9-11 today in New York. It’s hard to believe that only five years have passed, and just as hard to believe that it’s been five years already. I don’t have anything profound to say that won’t sound treacly. On 9/11/2001, I saw the smoke rising from the towers from outside my office in Newark, NJ, where I was a young law firm partner. Today, I took the train into my office in New York, where I’m a somewhat older young professor, on a bright blue morning just like that morning five years ago. Time goes on, but we have to remember.
