     "Being Secure in a Frightening World" - Nov. 6, 2001

Restoring a sense of safety and security across the United States in the wake of terrorist attacks in September might be impossible, some analysts say. But during November, The University of Houston Forum explored many of the key issues facing the country as it attempts to regain its footing from the Sept. 11 events in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania and the ongoing investigation into anthrax distribution through the U.S. Postal Service.

 

"Since the terrorist attack people have raised concerns and questions about life in the wake of these horrific events," said Edward P. Sheridan, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost of the University of Houston. "The UH Forum will offer everyone who attends an opportunity to listen to, and participate in, a thoughtful discussion of how the world might be shaped in the months and years ahead."
