At the University of Illinois atUrbana-Champaign-which boasts the 10th largest international student body in the country-there have been scores of tearful student rallies and memorial services and an outpouring of support for victims of the attacks. One student held an impromptu a cappella concert that drew thousands and raised more than $5,600 for Red Cross relief efforts. But there has also been an ugly side for the hundreds of Muslim students on campus. Nationally, hundreds of international students from the Middle East have withdrawn from their campuses and returned home. Many universities have reported incidents of attacks against Muslim students. At DePaul University in Chicago, a small Muslim student group temporarily disbanded after receiving a string of threatening e-mails, apparently sent by groups outside the campus. At the U. of I., many Muslim students say they anticipate problems continuing. Although student leaders were disturbed by the threats against Muslims, many said the terrorist attacks also have helped unite the campus. Last week, student leaders met in the local mosque to discuss how to bring the university's diverse population closer together. Time to really listen and really hug Patriotism isn't the only old-fashioned pursuit in a high-growth period during recent weeks. Heart-felt conversation is another chart-topper. In this time of uncertainty, psychologists and counselors urge us to spend quiet time with family and friends. The simple act of hugging children and other loved ones has a healing power. Research can confirm it - studies at the University of Miami Touch Research Institute are a place to start - but who doesn't know that by instinct? "Grief is how the heart heals," Remen said. "Grieving is a healing process; most people don't realize that." Absolutely. Too many Americans are more familiar with stuffing down the grief. Remen described this scenario of how people grieve a family member "A person might be walking around, taking care of business, and suddenly the grief comes out of nowhere. They start crying. I have seen that happen several times in recent days, at the grocery store, on the street, in cars."

"It's not escapism. People are tuning in or reading to get facts and witness history. Listening and viewing has its own intimacy in this case. You don't have to talk about it." Remen said media coverage can help the healing because "telling the story over and over" is part of the grieving process. "The grieving will require different amounts of time for different people," Remen said. "Talk to people who feel the same way you do (about the world situation). That's important. You will find some people have gone into denial. They will tend to cut you off or change the subject." Florida man hospitalized with anthrax A 63-year-old Palm Beach County, Fla., man has been hospitalized in critical condition with anthrax, state health officials confirmed Thursday. State of Florida and federal investigators from the Centers for Disease Control are at the Columbia JFK Medical Center in Lantana, Fla., and are investigating, federal sources said. The patient was tentatively identified as Robert Stevens, though the spelling of his last name was unclear. "We're going to stress a calm and reasoned approach to this particular event," Brogan said. Anthrax is not contagious from one person to another, and in the rare occasions when it is spread to humans, it is usually done so by infected animals. In the United States, about one case of anthrax has been confirmed each year over the last 10 years, according to a report by pr. Arthur M. Friedlander, chief of the Bacteriology Division in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. The last case in Florida was in 1974, ' Brogan said. At Columbia JFK Medical Center in Lantana, Fla., hospital officials declined to comment. They said information would be released later in the day Thursday. A security guard was posted at the entrance to the critical care unit on the hospital's second floor. A media representative escorted a reporter off the property.
