Dear friends: I just received this email from a cousin in Norway: "It's with grief and shock we got the news about the cruel and cowardly attack on your country and all those innocent people. We can hardly find words to express how sad we're feeling, but our sympathy is with you and also with all those unknown people who have been killed, maimed or have lost their loved ones. The whole thing is so unreal that you almost have to check that you are awake. Beside the human tragedy, this is also a threat to all democratic nations in the free world including our country, so even if we are far away in distance it does also feel very close. One good thing, if one can say that in a situation like this, is that the world's major nations seem to have become more united and determined to fight these evel elements together." I wanted to share it with you because I'm sure it represents the feelings of average citizens all over Europe. Cousin Helge has been here in America several times; he has a special feeling for New York because he participated in the NY Marathon three years ago. At times like this, of ocurse, grammar issues that we would normally debate have taken a secondary place in our lives. Warmest regards to you all.
