In St. Louis, Muslim Imam Waheed Rana inked Americans for their tolerance following 3 terrorist attacks. “Our community is like a >dy. When one part of the body is injured, the aole body feels the pain,” he said. “We can embrace each other,” Reform Rabbi tsan Halve said at the outdoor ceremony. Added jiruin Catholic Archbishop Justin Rigali: “We ject every call of bigotry.” Mans sermons urged fair treatment for merican Muslims, who have protested clamp- >wns on their charities and mosques and the definite detention of immigrants. “We pray for safety, but we also pray for those oftled and deported since Sept. 11,” the Rev. >hn Marsh, a Unitarian Universalist, told an terfaith ceremony at San Francisco’s Golden ate. Bridge. Hundreds of religious services were held ition wide to remember the victims of the suicide hijackings that struck New York, Pennsylvania and the Washington area.

The coverage brought back nemories of last fall, when K.BC. CBS and NBC reported >n the terrorist attacks for four ull days. This time, the fresh md unfolding horror was eplaced by a knowing sadness. : “We are still coming to grips ; vith what happened on that Jay,” NBC’s Tom Brokaw said. The major networks all -offered a similar mix of memori al service coverage, somber interviews with victims’ relatives and recaps of what happened. The disturbing images of a year ago — planes striking the World Trade Center, the fiery towers and their eventual col lapse — could be seen several times. Networks had resisted using them since the first few days after the attacks and promised to use restraint on the anniversary. CNN occasionally warned viewers before showing the pic tures. The network did show a still picture of people falling from the towers. “We are trying to be careful in how we use these and when we use these,” CNN's Aaron Brown said. “Understandably, this is very hard to watch.” Networks paused for a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. EDT to mark the moment the first plane struck the World Trade Center. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani began reading the 2,801 names of people killed at the site that day, a process that took 2 1/2 hours. The recital of names was mixed with coverage of a Pentagon memorial service. In New York, the networks’ local affiliates stayed with the names, the staggering numbers eloquently illustrating the event’s magnitude. I voted for it I paid the fee So where's my software?
