...signature alcoholic slushies, and Mardi Gras masks are once again on sale. But drive north toward the hurricane-ravaged housing subdivisions off Lake Pontchartrain and the masks you see aren't made for Carnival. They are industrial-strength respirators, stark and white, the only things capable of stopping a stench that turns the stomach and dredges up bad memories of a night nearly three months ago. Most disasters come and go in a neat arc of calamity, followed by anger at the slow response, then cleanup. But Katrina cut a historic deadly swath across the South, and rebuilding...
...India's foreign ministry welcomed Musharraf's offer, and Kashmiri families-some separated from loved ones for nearly half a century-are expected to soon come flooding across the LoC. The devastation they will encounter, particularly on the Pakistani side, is hellish. The stench of death still hangs in a pestilential cloud over Muzaffarabad, the largest Kashmiri city on the Pakistani side. Thousands died in the city, many of them in hospitals and schools destroyed by the 7.6 magnitude quake-on Wednesday, aid officials revised the final death toll upwards in Pakistan from 54,000 to nearly 80,000.

There was the shameless political grandstanding in the Terri Schiavo case. There was Katrina. There is the stench of corruption rising from the Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff scandals and the appointment of so many hacks and cronies to positions of power. There is the possibility that Karl Rove and other top Administration officials will soon be indicted in the Valerie Plame leak case. There was, and is, the failure...
...what Katrina broke; it's the agency's biggest disaster response ever. During a visit to the New Orleans lakefront Thursday, the Vice President asserted after a short tour that "we're making significant progress." The engineers on the ground, those who work in the dross and stench every day, agree, but they also privately say they have barely begun. Not because they aren't working hard. Among the dozen Corps employees I spoke with, all said they were sleeping no more than four hours a night, mostly on the floor of the Corps' New Orleans office, which has reeking...
