...eight-week stint in the city I’ll always love to call home comes to a close, I admit that I can no longer sustain my old routine at school. There are just too many places and events that I’ve missed out on. And, as the free-spirited Holly Golightly aptly sings in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” there’s such a lot of world to see, even in our relatively small corner of Boston...

I admit that before going, I was skeptical--I had New Orleans fatigue. I felt as if I had heard and read enough about Katrina. But from conversations with everyone from Mayor Ray Nagin to jazz great Terence Blanchard, I learned that New Orleanians were deeply disturbed by the pace of reconstruction and how that effort...
