...Manhattan that Adams took when he visited the photographer Alfred Stieglitz in New York; poignant and funny pictures of run-down Western towns; a crazy photograph of sodium calcite crystals in Adams’s developing tray; a striking portrait of Georgia O’Keefe and Orville Cox; and, among Adams’ last pictures, an aerial view of a Los Angeles freeway interchange that evokes the powerful feeling of discovering something new and beautiful in the mundane—much like earlier close-ups of ferns and lichen.Despite the variety of subjects on display, Adams’ style...
...doing things." Nagin has been doing things differently for quite some time. Raised poor in New Orleans, he attended Alabama's Tuskegee University on a baseball scholarship, earned an M.B.A. from Tulane University and worked his way up the ranks to vice president at cable giant Cox Communications by turning around its flagging New Orleans cable system. After hearing his son complain about New Orleans' dearth of career opportunities, Nagin entered the 2002 mayoral race only two months before the Democratic primary and ended up the choice of a city tired of its banana-republic image...

Raised in a poor section of the city, he went to college on a baseball scholarship, got an MBA and rose to be a $400,000-a-year vice president at the cable giant Cox Communications.

Christopher Cox, the new SEC chairman, is expected to lean the same direction. Meanwhile, even in the halls of congress there has been concern that the tough Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reform bill has placed too great a burden?and expense?on companies working to tow the line. Cox has already said he?s going to give small companies some relief from Sarbanes-Oxley...
...Street Journal: "Get people to higher ground and have the feds and the state airlift supplies to them--that was the plan, man." But in fact, the plan was more substantial. And it makes clear that the mayor was in charge when disaster struck. Nagin, a former executive with Cox Communications who was elected three years ago on the promise that he would purge the city of corruption, was supposed to prepare New Orleans for a hurricane and call for an evacuation. He was supposed to get help from his office of emergency preparedness, which was responsible for helping...
