Thankful travelers recall acts of kindness after 9 11
In a Dear Abby column dated Sept 10 2001, Mr and Mrs Geoi Cullins of Ohio recount a Las Vegas trip disrupted by 9 11. Airport staff arranged help for a wheelchaired husband, strangers traded places in line, and two pennies found in a hotel doorway offered comfort. They praise airport workers and strangers for generosity amid chaos. A second letter from Kay Bell of Westminster reflects on a 25 year marriage anniversary and a symbolic engagement ring, highlighting enduring love.

Coalition crisis risks Sharon government in Israel
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon faces a budget clash within his broad coalition as two Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism balk at emergency spending cuts. Sharon sacked four Shas ministers and five deputies, leaving a fragile alliance that could trigger early elections unless a quick deal restores a parliamentary majority. Analysts expect negotiations to dodge a vote of no confidence, though the risk remains if the parties break away.
