...Bartlett, counselor to the President, denied anything as unseemly as politics was behind the move. "The same discussions" were under way with Republican Governor Haley Barbour of hurricane-ravaged Mississippi, he told Newhouse News Service. However, Barbour's press secretary Pete Smith told TIME that "no such request" was made of the Mississippi Governor. (Bartlett says Barbour's office made it clear early on they did not want to relinquish authority.) Blanco asked for 24 hours to consider it, but as she was meeting at midnight that Friday night with advisers, Card called and told her to look...
...damage seemed minimal. Homes were intact, although many pine trees were felled. But most seemed to have hit lawns and carports rather than causing real structural damage to homes.

...first printed Bible and mix with the burghers of Amsterdam. While there is never a lack of assassins ready to throw the first stone, almost every generation encounters righteous gentiles without whom Jewish survival would have been impossible. Halter becomes an actor in the drama, much as Alex Haley did in Roots, piercing the narrative with his own meditations: "We are periodically asked to choose between the Land and the Book, as if our presence [in France] did not show that one can be faithful to both at once." These artless interludes serve to remind the reader that the sufferers...
