Lewin, was on board the same plane. His wife and two sons were not traveling with him. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/12/national/12PASS.html A very sad irony. Right now, effective caching and multicasting are what the Internet needs, as millions of people flock to nytimes.com and other leading newspaper and media sites worldwide. For a while yesterday, Google's site urged people to turn on the television instead of searching for news on the Internet. This wise counsel was later replaced; Google offered direct links to major sites (including the Times) and cached copies of major articles. /rich
