Part I of White Noise: here's what my studentlekh came up with (ok, I threw in the "media skeptic" part, but they thunk the rest) --



Also, I learned that graduates of middle schools in the county where I teach still resent not being *told* what was happening on 9/11. They knew something was wrong because their teachers were mumbling fearfully to each other in the halls and then going back into the classrooms and telling the students that everything was ok. In the days and weeks afterwards, their teachers didn't mention anything about the event and its aftermath(s) because principals were afraid of upsetting students whose relatives had been involved in the disaster.
