Most Women Insecure about Finances

Although American women are increasingly better educated and likely to have careers, they're still uncertain about their financial futures, according to a study released Tuesday.

This wasn't the only time he had been lucky, he also was on the 39th floor of the World Trade Center in 1993 when it was bombed by terrorists and escaped without injury.
