...went Malcolm White's week. When he was not looking for music, he was looking for food: hot tamales, crawfish, gumbo, red beans and rice, barbecue, barbecued shrimp. On a dirt road to nowhere, he stopped at a place called Booga Bottom Store and was served, by a waitress named Heardacine Kemp, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, crowder peas, sliced tomatoes, corn bread and iced tea.

It is a never-ending struggle. Even as New Orleans officials were savoring their victory, a barge accident 50 miles upriver sent a 200,000-gal. oil slick floating toward town, forcing the shutdown of some water-intake facilities...

...Phipps, though it was her well-publicized legal fight over her racial label that had prompted the legislative change. Phipps, 49, whose great-great-great-great-grandmother was an 18th century black slave, is "colored" according to the state of Louisiana. Phipps, who is married to a wealthy white crawfish merchant, only found that out in 1977, when she applied for a passport and learned that her birth certificate called her colored. She claims she has always considered herself white...
