U.S. customs and immigration officers at the Washington State- B.C. border clamped down immediately with heightened security measures Friday morning after President George W. Bush issued new warnings that a terrorist attack may be imminent. U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said recent intelligence reports suggest that al-Qaida leaders have emphasized planning for attacks on apartment buildings, hotels and other soft or lightly guarded targets in the U.S. Government officials have grown increasingly concerned about the likelihood of terrorist attacks within the United States as intelligence sources are reporting an increase in terrorist activity or \"chatter.\" One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said this activity appeared to be peaking and was rivaling that seen before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Modern fantasy is hard to define, especially when genre writers as diverse as Tim Powers, Neil Gaiman and Emma Bull are hip-deep in it. Bull's Territory lacks the malevolent poetry of Powers's best and the trenchant wit of Gaiman's latest, but her version of the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral, an iconic 1881 incident in Tombstone, Ariz., is no less modern or fantastic than the worlds that these better known fantasists create. The book takes the bare facts of the shoot-out and speculates that its causes were more supernatural than reality-based. The book's shallowness becomes even more clear with the arrival of Martha, the teacher's assistant whom [Matt Fuller] picks up in a future in which Jesus Christ rules the Northeast (one of [Joe Haldeman]'s weak stabs at satire). With Martha, Haldeman may have been aiming for an homage to the smart, buxom babes who populate Robert Heinlein's best, but she ultimately serves only as a pneumatic plaything. Haldeman and Jon Courtenay Grimwood's works lie on opposite ends of the speculative fiction spectrum. Haldeman's fiction is mostly concerned with science and the future; Grimwood's is about fantasy and mood. 9Tail Fox, if nothing else, is a book rich with atmosphere, as evocative as the fog that descends on its San Francisco setting.
