Already, there is talk of rewiring the country's emergency apparatus. "Washington handed out $750 million to small fire departments around the country, but if the fire department is wiped out, as it appears to have been in New Orleans, what's the plan?" says Carafano at the Heritage Foundation. The tiered response, whereby state and local officials are responsible for the first few days, doesn't work in a megadisaster...
...ready for prime time? Maybe not. First, the good: There's a 40GB hard drive nestled behind an impressive 7-in. LCD screen. (For $200 more, you can get a 100GB version.) Though surprisingly slender, it's larger than any portable game system.

...SHARON: Once we accomplish the withdrawal and there is complete quiet, terrorist organizations should be dismantled, their weapons should be collected, there should be reforms of the Palestinian Authority-mostly in their security apparatus, but not only in security-once that will happen then we will move to the Road Map. We are committed to the Road Map. The Palestinians committed themselves to the Road Map. But I'll tell you in this part of the world, it's different. Declarations, promises, speeches, even signing agreements all are meaningless. Only acts are meaningful. I am ready to make painful compromises...
