Letting Others Tell It

I don't feel like anything I could say about what's happening in N.O. right now would add much. Here are some more cogent commentaries than I have to make:

• Joe D'Andrea talks about a grand gesture from some small hands.
• Alison Pelegrin (author of The Zydeco Tablets) is living through it.
• The American Red Cross is one of the better ways to send your money. But use any matching gifts you can in the process.
• The always reliable Washington Post has a good Special Report on the aftermath.
