One year later after Katrina
One year after Katrina, only 1/2 of the pupolation came back to New Orleans. The population before the storm is 485K, and now 217K. Of those who came back, mostly white. After one year, only 29% of the schools are up and running. The numbers are quite shocking. See more numbers on NPR's report: New Orleans by the Numbers

倒扁?挺扁?
An article by 龍應台:
我怎麼上「陳水扁」這一課 一個「甘犯眾怒」的微小聲音
我承認我一直在上課,像個小學生一樣在上公民課。這一課的題目就叫「陳水扁」。課文特別令人「拍案驚奇」,但是附在課文後面的測驗題,艱難的程度,超過我的預期。
