...busy, Potter now earns far less than he did at Cigna, where he made "in the six figures." He's a nonsalaried consultant for the Center for Media and Democracy but has health-insurance coverage through his wife, who manages a Banana Republic store.

Only heroic work by firefighters saved the historic...

Californians do not have to bear the full brunt of disaster, should it strike. Taxpayers across the nation share the cost of emergency responses to hurricanes in Florida, tornadoes in Kentucky and wildfires in California.
