| America has been overwhelmed by the heartbreaking images of death and destruction from New Orleans and Mississippi. There is shock and awe at seeing a wonderfully cosmopolitan city like New Orleans that once grew great on the commerce of the Mississippi River, and where jazz was born, sinking beneath the waters--and the unimaginable fact that in the America of the 21st century a major city could be so completely overwhelmed by nature. As Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said of the death toll from 9/11, it is "more than any of us can bear." Surely, if Mother Nature had been consulted, she would never have consented to building a city there. It brings to mind the comments of the 20th-century historian Will Durant: "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." |

| The Chevy Suburban is a poster child for gas-guzzling SUV s, averaging just 16 miles per gallon. But the 18-foot-long vehicle can hold up to nine people, tow a motorboat, and do a lot of other things that petite utilities like the Toyota RAV4 or the Honda CR-V can't. In some measure, it should get lower mileage, since it does more. |
