Next week marks the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation that was visited on the Gulf Coast. New Yorker writer Dan Baum chronicles what he calls the “Lost Year” and the failure to rebuild the poorer sections of New Orleans – despite the national attention and the seeming good intentions of the public and the politicians. Plus, mathematical uproar over a spurned prize; an update from the Atlantic Yards public hearing; and the Iran nuclear negotiations.
