NEW YORK President George W. Bush and his wife Laura stood in somber silence Sunday after laying wreaths at the site where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once soared. He later pledged to make the anniversary “a day of renewing resolve” to remember the lessons of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The Bushes set floral wreaths adrift in reflecting pools that mark the former locations of the north and south towers at the beginning of a two-day fifth-anniversary tour that will take them to all three sites of devastation. They made a slow procession down a long ramp lined with a flag-bearing honor guard made up of firefighters and police officers, making their way four or five stories below ground level. Uttering no words, the Bushes walked hand-in-hand on the floor of the cavernous pit with bagpipes wailing in the background. Afterward, the Bushes attended a service of prayer and remembrance at nearby St. Paul’s Chapel, greeted firefighters at a firehouse overlooking ground zero and toured a private museum next door that is dedicated to 9/11 families.

THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils only needed WINSTON-SALEM the ball 28 yards to seal their first ACC win since the 2004 campaign. But the ball only traveled seven before a thunderous block sent the Wake Forest (2-0) faithful into an uproar and sealed Saturday’s 14-13 loss in Winston-Salem. In a game in which Duke (0-2) squandered numerous offensive opportunities that could have opened up a big lead for the Blue Devils, the final result came down to a last-second field goal from sophomore kicker Joe Surgan. “The snap was great, the hold was great and it felt good,” Surgan said. “One moment it was in, the next moment I heard it bounce off of someone. The rest was history from there.” to kick

Sophomore wideout Eron Riley caught five passes for 57 yards, including one for nine yards on Duke's final drive, in the Blue Devils' 14*13 loss to Wake Forest Saturday.
