NEW ORLEANS - Four words that describe New Orleans was socked by Hurricane Katrina: disaster, yes; apocalypse, no.
The horizontal table while formally neighborhoods stinking, sewage-infested waters is as impressive as the vertical drama of the collapse of the twin towers in New York.

Cities are collective works, and New Orleans is one of the masterpieces of America - a delicious multicultural Gemüseeibisch whose value is greater than in a nation where the same stores, banks and shopping malls felt irrespective of the place, like any other place.

Moreover, someone who sets foot in this city knows that the best parts of New Orleans should not be rebuilt. They are still there.
It could be a Mardi Gras parade tomorrow in the bone dry French Quarter. The modern office towers and hotels of Central Business District, even if they are graceless, remain standing sign for the resumption of its role as focal points of trade. Some of the city extraordinary, as the Garden District, with its white columns Antebellum villas, came through the storm with a little more than downed trees.
