[Sfbay-print-editorial] [Sfbay-print] Hurricane Katrina: Our Experiences

[Hunter Jackson]

Both sound good to me--I really like the account from New Orleans Ali sent

responses in NO and South/Southeast Asia? Could be interesting and make the 
tsunami part more time relevant (even if the parallels are just how fucked 
up they both were/are and trying to understand why).
