WRT rapes and armed gangs, in an article in the New York Times about Oprah Winfrey's show taped in New Orleans on Sunday and aired Tuesday, in her interview with the New Orleans police chief, he "told of rapes inside the Superdome and an attempt by gang members to take him hostage as he toured the building." So my earlier speculation that the NO police want to minimize reports of violence is no longer operative, if the police chief himself is talking about rapes and gangs on national television. ------------------------ Yahoo!
