'I'm just glad I saw it'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1560139,00.html
New Orleans was the city of jazz, Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, the
place where the US Bible Belt came unbuckled. Former New York Times
editor Howell Raines laments the destruction of the Big Easy, and asks:
why did President Bush do so little in response?

Unlike thousands of American families, my kin and I received at least
one precious splash of good news from New Orleans. My daughter-in-law
Eva Hughes Raines loaded her three-year-old daughter Sasha and the
family pets into an SUV and fled town a full day ahead of the
evacuation order. My son Jeffrey and his mates in Galactic, one of the
city's better known funk bands, were performing in Seattle, watching
from afar as Katrina inundated their homes in the US's most distinctive
city. Soon the little family will arrive here in the Pocono mountains
in Pennsylvania where we will wait, for weeks or months, to see if
their antique neighbourhood of distinctive "shotgun houses" can be made
habitable again.
