"Paul Simon, former U.S. Senator from Illinois, widens a national debate. September 11th, 2001 changed everything: we are beginning to realize what happens to one of us happens to all of us.

Mr. Simon calls for a new way of thinking, and challenges us to new priorities, a renewing of the best American values."
