"I did my best to shield my kids from the events of 9/11: mildly explaining the ashes that enveloped our Brooklyn neighborhood, turning off the TV as images of the planes hitting blared, flipping over the newspaper as it arrived on our doorstep with shots of the WTC burning. But of course the horror was percolating in them, too, despite my best efforts. Eventually, they found ways of talking about it, wrapping their heads around it like the rest of us.- "Reel NY", Channel 13 WNET, NY, 2002.
