...This is not good news for a Crimson squad that is trying to cut down on turnovers and piece together sustained drives. Harvard committed five turnovers last week against the Big Red—three interceptions thrown by sophomore quarterback Liam O’Hagan and two special-teams fumbles by sophomore Steven Williams...
...What angers the Ninth Ward's more than 20,000 residents most, said Hagan's sister-in-law, Jeanette Hagan, is that while a third of the community does live below the poverty line, a myth has grown since Katrina that it "is full of nothing but drug-dealing, non-working poor black criminals, and so the place would be better off just getting bulldozed. Most of the people around here are hard-working middle-class people and homeowners." That same day members of New Orleans' City Council announced they would be seeking help from national development and realtor organizations...

...Even some residents feel it's time to let the Ninth die peacefully. Across Flood Street from Hagan's home, Dahlre Brown, 42, and her husband, Edward Brooks, 36, warily entered their house after driving in from Brookhaven, Miss., where they plan to settle permanently now. "The fact is," said Brown, watching Salvation Army and EPA vans cruise the block, "this is a crime-ridden area and not an especially good place to raise kids. Over in Brookhaven they've got a 15-mph speed limit for school zones. Here they'll run your kids over." Brown points inside...
