By LIZETTE ALVAREZ and SARAH KERSHAW New York Times <p>WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 As the sun peeped out over the rain-slicked pavement today, people across this sniper-wary region found themselves unwittingly hopscotching through a series of mental calculations in going on about their day.<p>***I just got back from downtown Bethesda, as suburban Washington as it comes. I can report that everything looks normal. Perhaps if Lizette and Sarah pressed some of the relaxed diners along Bethesda Row, they might get some expressions of concern but it looked to me like people were anxiously awaiting dessert.***<p>[ October 13, 2002: Message edited by: blanp ]</p>
