FEATURES
Shadow of the Towers
BY MERYL GORDON
To relatives and friends of victims, September 11 created private pain that a few months can't begin to erase. But even New Yorkers who didn't suffer firsthand -- who didn't run for their lives or see falling bodies from their living-room windows -- are experiencing more depression, more anxiety, more health problems than expected. Six months on, experts say, we're in a second wave of grief. Plus: New Yorkers talk about their personal journeys since the tragedy.

Pain of the Heroes
BY CHRIS SMITH
On September 11, New York's firefighters provided the city and the world with a new definition of heroism. But rebuilding the department, while still burying their dead and caring for their families, calls for a different kind of bravery. They're angry at budget cuts, union leaders, the makers of the CBS documentary. But many vets are more committed than ever, partly because, says one, "they can teach the young guys that this job isn't all about death."

Latin-American Pier

America invented the teenager -- and, for better or worse, the teen movie. And it may take a Mexican turned New Yorker, Alfonso Cuarón, director of Y Tu Mamá También (which hits theaters this week), to reinvent it.
