For those on the list who may, like me, be struggling to gain some
understanding of what Katrina means to the US and (because of our real
as well as self-proclaimed position in it) the world, may I commend
today's issue of the New York Times?
Specifically, there is a suite of articles in the Week in Review section
that shed remarkable light. Written by Jason DeParle, John M. Barry,
Richard Bernstein, Frank Rich, and Anne Rice, these pieces give us
historical, cultural, political, geographic, and sociological viewpoints
that can be extremely helpful.
The enormity of this situation also demonstrates, for me, the present
impossibility of the terms "impartial" and "objective." It seems to me,
what we can hope for these days is that coverage try to be "fair."
Impartiality and objectivity are for another era.
