The 60-year-old man lying on the street, as far as anyone knew, was just a janitor hit by a drunk driver.
There was no mention of it on the local news, no obituary in the morning paper.
His name might have been Anonymous. But it wasn’t. 
His name was Peter Putnam.
He was a physicist who’d hung out with Albert Einstein, John Archibald Wheeler, and Niels Bohr,
and two blocks from the crash, in his run-down apartment, where his partner, Claude, was startled by a scr…

Finding Peter Putnam
The forgotten janitor who discovered the logic of the mind

Interesting and fulsome interview on exactly how NORAD reacted to the plane hijacking in Victoria/Vancouver on Tuesday. They speak to the commander of NORAD, currently a Canadian.
I appreciated the last section most though:
“It's the only bi-national command in the world; it's been a strong bi-national command since 1958, and nothing has changed.
We don't ever talk politics at work. It's not something that we do, nor does it affect what we do.
I would say that we are as tight, and probably tighter than we've ever been. As the world around us gets to be more dangerous, I would say that NORAD is even closer than it's ever been.
But one last thing — we have the watch. That's the slogan here for NORAD.
To give you a great example, all of the assessors, we all live on-base in homes that actually have a safe, we call it the SCIF. It's basically a classified room that has all of our systems. The days that you're on duty, you're either at work or in your house. Because the timelines are so small for answering the phone, you don't walk the dog; you don't do all these other things, and someone covers for you when you're going between work and home.
That's how important this mission is to us down here. It's really important for everybody in Canada to know that at NORAD, we have the watch”
