THE ARTIST'S RESPONSE Directly and subtly, in ways enormous and small, the events of Sept. 11 affected artists and the work they created.   Story Gallery of artwork   Inspirational lyrics, poems  MORE COVERAGE PROFILES How 9/11 changed six lives Some people were stirred to action, some awakened to life's preciousness. For some, nothing changed on Sept. 11. For these six people, everything changed. VIRGINIA BUCKINGHAM My side of the story Terrorism and security were not the only concerns at Logan after 9/11. Political opportunism and finger-pointing also had their day, the ex-Massport chief writes. CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS It's a good time for war Proving Osama bin Laden wrong is the right thing to do. And when we remember that victory is certain, we can stop scaring ourselves to death. PHOTO GALLERY The flag is everywhere Not since the 1960s has the American flag been so frequently used as a design element. Rather than a symbol of protest, the flag represents pride and solidarity.  MESSAGE BOARD How do you feel one year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks? Where do we go from here?
