I remember vividly what I was doing before I happened to switch the TV to Fox news and saw the smoke from the first Tower.
President Bush and his Administration had planned to emphasize Education during this week. While he was in Florida in a classroom, Laura was on Capitol Hill meeting senators, and an expert from NIH on how children learn to read was being interviewed on CSPAN.
