...statement, Bill McComb, CEO of Liz Claiborne, said, "In losing Liz Claiborne, we have not only lost the founder of our company, but an inspirational woman who revolutionized the fashion industry 30 years ago. Her commitment to style and design is ever present in our thinking and the way we work. We will remember Liz for her vision, her entrepreneurial spirit and her enduring compassion and generosity...
...Early Show two days before Katrina hit. Although his home in the Garden District survived, his wife's new clothing store was looted in the hurricane's aftermath, only days after her fall collection had arrived. Drummond plans to tour while his wife stays with her family in McComb, Miss. "Got to go where I can be of some use and work," he says. His radiologist father-in-law James Boothe, who drove in from out of state to help them pack, seems dazed to be in a deserted city with armed military making noisy house calls in the distance...

This up-tempo opening track opens with a feverish drum line whose pace is so furious that it seems on the verge of falling out of step with the halting and heavy riff layered upon it.

McComb health coordinator Norma Krapac and her staff sought to deal with a growing asthma problem in the district by teaching students about what triggers their attacks...
...demanding as this swarm of unofficial chores is in McComb, it is far tougher in districts where one nurse is responsible for up to several thousand students, sometimes spread throughout as many as 10 buildings. That kind of work load is typical in Illinois, where the state school-nursing association lobbied unsuccessfully for tobacco-settlement money to go toward hiring nurses. In such cases schools rely on lunchroom supervisors and secretarial staff for basic first aid and call 911 for anything more complicated, says Phyllis Pelt, director of the school-nurse certification program at the University of Illinois at Chicago...
