WASHINGTON - Opponents of the war in Iraq marched Saturday in a clamorous day of protest, song and remembrance of the dead, some showing surprisingly diverse political views even as they spoke with one loud voice in wanting U.S. troops home.
The surging crowd, shouting "Bush out now" and "Peace now," marched in front of the White House and then to the Washington Monument in an 11-hour marathon of dissent.

NEW YORK - Rites of remembrance and loss marked the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, familiar in their sorrow but observed for the first time Saturday in a nation torn over the prospect of a mosque near ground zero and the role of Islam in society.
Under a flawless blue sky that called to mind the day itself, there were tears and song, chants, and the waving of hundreds of American flags. Loved ones recited the names of the victims, as they have each year since the attacks. They looked up to add personal messages to the lost and down to place flowers in a reflecting pool in their honor.

It's a warm July night and swallows are performing spectacular aerial stunts behind my tractor, swooping low to inhale the insects my cutter scares up. Darkness fills the corners of the pastures I'm mowing, and a moist haze glows in the half light of the hollow. The summer moon hangs three-quarters full in the southern sky.
With orange, foam ear plugs in place I can still hear myself singing Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman" in full voice: "You know I need you more than want you, and I want you for all ti-i-i-me." God knows why I sing that song on this humid night, the voice of an old man who fondly remembers the original Glen Campbell version. The big diesel in front of me cannot out-duel a voice that demands something more than Proust's claim on the remembrance of things past.
