NEW ORLEANS - It was a notable sign of normalcy when, on a recent hot day, the new phone book landed with a thud on the stoop of a house that one year ago lay under water.
The phone book's arrival is a mark of progress here, but it's also a window into how much has changed. With nearly half the city's population g...

BATON ROUGE -- Their voices reflect the conflict of people who want to be positive about New Orleans' recovery, but they aren't sure they can be.
Waiting for recovery is "about like I feel when I wait for water to boil," says Rusty Barham, a lawyer for a New Orleans bank. "It is far too slow."

Even more startling: 90% of the 1,925 women surveyed said they feel financially insecure. Yet women are better educated, work more and earn more than they did decades ago.
