This issue of CRIA Update goes to press the week of the terrorist attack. The enormity of the disaster and its potential implications are just beginning to sink in. Over the twenty years of the AIDS epidemic, many of us at CRIA have suffered seemingly unendurable losses. Yet, somehow we have found ways to endure those losses and, hopefully, grown in ways that allow us to offer something of value to our communities. As we struggle with further loss and our own fragile emotions, CRIA hopes for peace in the hearts of our readers, our communities and the world. We extend our deepest condolences to the friends and families of those who died in the violence of September 11, 2001.
