Stevenson’s army, September 10

On this day before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, there are many articles and links to books, TV programs, and other memories.  Politico rounds up former officials.WaPo’s magazine reported on the early onset dementia among first responders and those who worked the sites.

As a longtime fan of folk music, I want to draw your attention to Tom Paxton’s powerful tribute to the first responders, The Bravest.
In other news, NYT says Russian hackers aren’t directly controlled by the government. Politico says the Hill has a staff retention problem.
