...education, you should be able to provide for your family. You should be able to have decent, affordable, high quality health care. You should be able to afford decent housing. Your kids should be able to go to good schools. You shouldn't be terrified of crime in your neighborhood. That's not happening in Louisiana today. We're the only state in the South where people are moving out faster than they're moving in. Every year we're losing about 30,000 of our people. And we're a rich state. Thirty percent of the nation...
...comeback in the semifinal seemed to resemble a more important revival off the field. Just one year ago, Northwestern, a public school of 2,800 students in the impoverished Liberty City neighborhood, was mired in a scandal centered on its football program. The team's 18-year-old star running back had been arrested for having sex with a 14-year-old girl in a campus bathroom, and the school's principal, who allowed the young man to play in last year's state championship game anyway, was later indicted for allegedly failing to report the unlawful...

There's a vet clinic and an obedience school on site. In the brightly...

The young couple--whose names have been changed, since they fear reprisals if quoted in the media--fled to the Jordanian capital, Amman, in the summer of 2006 and are yearning to go back to their leafy street in al-Yarmouk, a middle-class neighborhood in Baghdad. Noora, 28, misses their modest one-story home so much, she is sentimental even about its defects. "The sink in the kitchen is cracked, there are termites everywhere, and sometimes in the summer we can smell our neighbor's toilet from our living room--but I swear...
...defendants in the Liberty City case (named after the poor Miami neighborhood where they lived), were members of the Moorish Science Temple, a sect that blends Islam, Christianity and Judaism and does not recognize the legitimacy of the U.S. government. (Moorish Science Temple leaders have since disavowed any links to the men.) On March 16, 2006, the men were recorded by the FBI vowing to be Islamic soldiers and to act at the direction of al-Qaeda, according to a motion filed by the government, which played the tape twice during the trial...
