...city's poorest-and often most crime-ridden-neighborhoods. A new study from Brown University concludes that up to 80% of the city's black population might not return to New Orleans. "I'm sympathetic to those who are dispersed, but not to the criminal element," says shipyard builder Donald "Boysie" Bollinger, who sits on both the mayor's Bring New Orleans Back Commission and the state's Louisiana Recovery Authority.

But the Army has been for the last several years going through a modernization strategy that will produce more units and more ready units."

Which just goes to show that the once unified congressional Republicans, left to their own devices, can be as fractious...
America, after all, is an overdog nation with an underdog mythology. We were founded when a scraggly, improvised army of renegades beat a superpower. Now we're a superpower that squashes scraggly, improvised armies of renegades. Our popular idea of a self-made businessman is Donald Trump, the billionaire son of a millionaire. We cheer for Seabiscuit when the rest of the world knows that we're really War Admiral...
