Hello,

On National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" program today, Thursday,
October 4th, 2001, the following story was broadcast (featuring
coverage of linguists involved in the project, and an interview with
one):

Folklore Project Debra Schifrin reports on the effort by American
folklorists to document the country's reaction to the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks. The project, spearheaded by the Library of
Congress, is recording the spontaneous responses of citizens across
the country. (6:06)
