AFTER THE ATTACKS (August 2000) Sep 12 | "In the upside-down world of workplace-recovery centers, of which this building is an example, no business is good business. The Minnetonka building, which is owned by Comdisco, of Rosemont, Illinois, will open its doors to subscribers when a power outage, a tornado, a fire, a blizzard, a flood, or some other interruption to business strikes." Jack El-Hai reports on the growing phenomenon of "workplace-recovery centers"--fully equipped but empty office space reserved by many corporations for the moment when disaster strikes. http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/08/elhai.htm THE ADVANTAGES OF DEFEAT (September 1861) 140 YEARS AGO IN THE ATLANTIC Sep 13 | "Our defeat at Bull Run was in no true sense a disaster; we not only deserved it, but needed it. It should give us new confidence in our cause, in our strength, in our final success." Soon after the start of the Civil War, Charles Eliot Norton urged the Union Army to toughen its resolve. http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/1861sep/defeat.htm ------------------------------------------------------- GET THE ATLANTIC AT OUR LOWEST RATE TransAtlantic readers, receive each month's issue of the Atlantic at our lowest rate.
