...true, but it is sort of like boasting that Richard Simmons has never been more intimidating. The Corps has yet to address the city's two most vulnerable points: the Gulf Outlet, a storm-surge shotgun pointed at the city's gut; and a "funnel" at the mouth of the Industrial Canal, another little-used Corps channel. The Corps has said $15 billion will be required to meet a 100-year safety standard; so far it has spent only about $2 billion. "That should give you an idea of how much work there still is to do," says Garret Graves...

This allows the vodka to aerate and, when it hits your tongue, reveal its true flavor. If you feel a burning or tingling in your mouth, then you're drinking the cheap stuff.

And McCain sometimes approached debate the way he approached boxing as a midshipman, throwing wild haymakers until someone went down. He has offended the clubby Senate with his sailor's mouth, cursing at Pete Domenici of New Mexico over pork, John Cornyn of Texas over immigration and even the Mormon Orrin Hatch of Utah over judges. During McCain's campaign to normalize relations with Vietnam, he nearly came to blows with Charles Grassley of Iowa. Smith served on a tanker...
