Letter: News coverage is appreciated

Thursday, Sept. 20, 2001 | 9:12 a.m.

The Las Vegas Sun's pages in Sunday's paper were exemplary. After reading Bob Deans' and Thomas L. Friedman's front-page articles that set the tone for the remaining pages I was compelled to read every last word you printed.

I've always learned from the contributions of Mike O'Callaghan, and was not disappointed on Sunday. With the exception of the letter from John Heple -- who I hope sees by now that those passengers did not realize they were flying in the hijackers' weapons soon enough to act -- this paper should go far to inspire us all to not be "afraid to act and take responsibility for our own safety" as Mr. Heple seems to think.

This grandmother, for one, knows that if I had known what was really happening, I would have done whatever I could have to abort that terrorist act. A blow to the groin would have been where I started.
