 ARTICLES

Comforting rescuers a priority, (read the rest of the article here)    San Francisco Examiner, By Nina Wu

    (thanks Lisa Wollney for this info)
    "The team shook hands with Vice President Dick Cheney and celebrities such as Mike Myers, Meg Ryan and Al Pacino, who also visited Ground Zero."      

 

 

TRIVIA

All celebrities were asked to come alone, no make-up, no entourages.

There was no live audience, and the locations of the tapings were kept secret because of security.

The telethon was shown live from NY and LA at the same time.

It was seen across the nation on more than 27 networks in an unprecedented cooperative effort.
