In CNN’s morning programming, each segment is introduced by a short music selection, just enough of a song that can identify the subject that’s coming up. One of this morning’s segments began with the song “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane.” I hope that was just a coincidence, and not a commentary on today’s date: September 11.
