NEW ORLEANS - Saxophone riffs from an unseen street musician waft up three floors to the balcony of Leslie Snadowsky's French Quarter apartment, punctuated by the bustle of waiters, bartenders, tourists and street people wandering among restaurants and shops below and enhanced by the view of sun glinting off the spires of nearby St. Louis Cathedral. But inside, the hardwood floors are covered with sticky notes marking chinks and spots of rot.

Nearly four months after Hurricane Katrina deluged the city of New Orleans on Aug. 29, and 100 days after President Bush delivered his impassioned speech before St. Louis Cathedral in the city's French Quarter assuring the American public that federal funds would cover "the great priority of the costs of repairing public infrastructure in the disaster zone, from roads and bridges to schools and water systems," in what would amount to one of the "largest reconstruction efforts the world has ever seen," financial aid now appears to be stalled in Congress. (Update: On Monday, Dec. 19, Congress allocated $29 billion toward rebuilding New Orleans) This is the largest civil engineering disaster in the history of the United States.

Darling, you must expe- rience some of the educational, historical and cultural activi- ties. Let's start with the Mar- tinique Heritage Trail, which will enlighten you about the island's Creole culture, which is deeply rooted in Africa. One local Creole tradition is eating pwa d'Angole (Angola peas) on New Year's Eve. It's the same ritual as the age-old African- American tradition of eating black-eyed peas to bring luck for the new year. During Carnival there are the diables rouges, the red devils on Mardi Gras, which the late Martinican poet and elder statesman, Aime Cesaire revealed come from the culture of Senegal.

Through the years, his vocal followers have been relatively few. Yet thanks to the title of Reverend -- he actually calls himself a bishop -- [Ron McRae] has been taken seriously by newspapers desperate for copy throughout the land. He was described as a "well-known" preacher in the Norman (Okla.) Transcript, and "leader of the Bible Anabaptist Church" in the Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) Times-Leader, as if his flock were overflowing into the streets. Residents and tourists in New Orleans, inebriated as they probably were at Mardi Gras two years ago, knew better than to take the preacher's religious-sounding words at face value. McRae le...
