unbelievable!
Like Bob said when he sent this article my way, it's amazing that even editors and publishers don't know -- or at least don't 'get' -- the extent of the damage, the need, the destruction, the recovery yet to come.
Editors and publishers toured the Gulf Coast, from New Orleans to Biloxi (a familiar stretch, huh, Rod?) and were astonished at what they saw. Even after they'd had staff reports from the very area, pictures and all.
It's THAT dramatic, seeing it for yourself.
Makes you want to do something, doesn't it?!
Hmm, wonder how you could do something to help ... Hmmmm.
