...this is the reality New Orleans leaders should be talking about. In a TIME poll of 1,000 Americans taken this month, 56% said they did not think all of New Orleans should be rebuilt if it might flood again. But in New Orleans, a city cut through with racial distrust and anger over the Corps' faulty levees, the same conversation is laced with suspicion. There is enough high ground in New Orleans for the city to relocate the entire pre-Katrina population more safely. The mostly African-American Lower Ninth Ward could still exist; it would just need...
...That's cold comfort for Argenbright, who argues that a mix of better technology, the right type of screeners and increased profiling, both behavioral and racial, is needed. Meantime, he'll wait out any new federalizing of his screeners that may come...
...name Don Stewart-Whyte is an unlikely fit with any racial-profiler's description of your typical Qaeda-inspired terror suspect.

The manipulation made an accused man seem more sinister before he had gone to trial, and it did so by playing off the language of racial stereotype. Hajj's manipulations are gratuitous and almost pointless: whichever side you take in the war, the devastation in Lebanon and Israel is real and well-documented, faked photos or not. A bomb leaves you just as dead, however dark a cloud it kicks up over your remains...

Dismissing a question about how his race might affect how he campaigns, he told TIME, "In Iraq the bullets don't pierce different racial groups differently." Another Harvard Law School grad, Deval Patrick, who is running for Governor of Massachusetts, has played up his background as a corporate executive at Texaco and Coca-Cola. "A guy came up to me after a speech and said, 'I expected Jesse Jackson, and I got Colin Powell,'" Patrick...
