On the eve of the Sept. 11 anniversary, Naureen Shah reflects on being an American, in Fort Worth Weekly. The question many Muslim Americans, no matter their ethnicity, are asking is, "Do I belong here now, or did I ever?" Shah writes. For her, being a Pakistani-American means "being simultaneously bombarded with the American Dream (if you work hard like us and become a doctor then maybe you'll own a BMW like we do) and the Pakistani Dream (get married to a good Muslim and have four kids, preferably three boys and one girl)."
The Fifth Estate, one of the oldest and most radical underground newspapers in America, is pulling up its roots in Detroit and moving to the Pumpkin Hollow commune outside Nashville, Tenn., the Detroit Free Press reports. "Of the hundreds of underground papers that arose across the United States in the 1960s, the Fifth Estate is the oldest survivor," the daily reports. The 37-year-old anarchist paper, which has an international readership, once presented the severed head of a pig to the Wayne State University board of governors and published a picture of the event with the headline "Pig's Head Meets Head Pigs."

Up Interstate 55, a fledgling movement financed by Chicago millionaire Robert Blackwell, Jr. is afoot -- squarely aimed at making the heartland a veritable China West for U.S. table tennis, which, some believe, is a Tiger Woods away from rubbing shoulders with more popular U.S. sports. Mike Seely of the Riverfront Times looks at this pingpong phenom.
