How many people died waiting for help? The buck supposedly stops with the President, but he was not in Washington and left the task to others, who failed miserably. Maybe his response would have been faster in different circumstances, but it seems Bush lacked the motivation in this case, in which the majority of people concerned were poor and black and the prestige attached...

In the middle of an intersection sits an abandoned wheelchair, water lapping at the handlebars, its occupant carried who knows where by the floodwaters. Cars line another roadway, their doors open...
...Harvard makes on behalf of Hurricane Katrina’s victims will necessarily look meager next to the billions of dollars that will be spent to save, salvage, and resurrect New Orleans in the coming months and years. Nonetheless, each invaluable life which Harvard rescues from painful disruption or utter ruin represents a laudable success and makes the country a better place...
