Congressman Charles Rangel of New York, a reasonable man who sometimes goes off the deep end, indulged himself last week. "George Bush is our Bull Connor," he told the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference, referring to the legendary Birmingham, Ala., police chief who attacked peaceful civil rights marchers with dogs and water cannons in 1963. A few minutes earlier, the entertainer Harry Belafonte had read the riot act to Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama...
...survivors are going quietly. "Why are they doing this?" demands Mario Holly, 32, who refused to leave behind his pit bull Irene until Guardsmen relented and took both aboard their huge halftrack truck. "I had enough food. I had enough water. I'm straight [meaning O.K.]," he says, dragging along a plastic bag of belongings. Robert Sanford, 62 and retired, sits on his porch in Uptown, drinking a soda and vowing to defy the evacuation order. "I don't need much," he says. "I got 12 gallons of water in the house.

"His music is about being human," says West's obviously biased mother Donda, who recently retired from her post as chair of the English department at Chicago State University. "It's like Walt Whitman. 'Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.'" West...
...that magazines pay to put him on their cover (in case you're wondering: uh, no) and, most famously, walked out of the American Music Awards when he lost Best New Artist to country singer Gretchen Wilson ("I was the best new artist this year, so get that other bull____ out of here"), a gesture made even more obnoxious by the fact that Wilson was as much a rebel in her field as West was in his (see page 66). In all, he acted with the maturity and grace traditionally associated with rap stars...
