		From McCloy's office high in the latest wonder of American architecture, we could see what used to be called Black Tom Island across the Hudson River on the New Jersey side, where German saboteurs had ignited a massive munitions depot laden with cargo destined for England and France.
		That explosion, more than a year before America's entry into the war to end all wars, was an act of belligerence against a nation at peace, just as the suicide destruction by hijacked airliners Tuesday morning crumbled the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
