"People are dying over there." Nearby, a woman lay dead in a wheelchair on the front steps. A man was covered in a black drape with a dry line of blood running to the gutter, where it had pooled. Another had lain on a chaise lounge for four days, his stocking feet peeking out from under a quilt. By mid-afternoon, only pockets of stragglers remained in the streets around the convention center, and New Orleans paramedics began carting away the dead. A once-vibrant city of 480,000 people, overtaken just days ago by floods, looting, rape and arson, was now an empty, sodden tomb.
The exact number of dead won't be known for some time. Survivors were still being plucked from roofs and shattered highways across the city. President Bush ordered more than 7,000 active duty forces to the Gulf Coast on Saturday. "There are people in apartments and hotels that you didn't know were there," Army Brig. Gen.

family flees to city (Continued from A1) When they reached their house, they found the, property covered with uprooted trees and the power and water off, but no structural damage and no flooding. Doug had stored some gas and they were able to run a generator. But it was only enough to keep refrigerators, lights and fans going for a while. And there was no communication. "We had to drive 30 miles to find a pay phone just to let my family know we were OK," Doris said.
That night, the Brooks held a candlelight barbecue. They and their neighbors cooked the food from their freezers and refrigerators that was going to spoil. "People took baths in our swimming pool," Doris said. The next day they decided they would be better off if they went to Kentucky where there was electricity and working communications. They were concerned about whether they would be able to buy gas to make the trip.
Twenty miles beyond Jackson, they got in line at a station and waited 1 hours. They worried that the station would run out of gas before it got to be their turn. But they got the tank filled, and for only $2.40 a gallon. Before Katrina hit, Doug would normally drive across Lake Ponchartrain and into New Orleans five days a week to his company, C.P. Louisiana, which is short for Container Producers of Louisiana.
The company has 70 employees and was manufacturing 5,000 to 6,000 steel drums a day. This Saturday afternoon, Doug was still trying. to assess the damage to the plant and offices as employees who had evacuated returned to the area and were able to visit the plant. "There were about 100 skylights in the plant building that popped out," Doug said. A whole section of the wall in the office building blew in.
There was a report of several inches of water' standing on the plant floor. But the machinery was all up off the floor and. it appeared that $1 million worth of steel in inventory had stayed dry. Doug is on the phone hours every day since he got to Kentucky, trying to get repairs made, trying. to find out how soon he can expect to have power, again, trying to reach his managers.
The business was well-insured, Doug said, and he expects help from FEMA. "Even with insurance and FEMA, it will still cost a lot of money," he said. Though the business headaches are huge, the Brooks know how fortunate they are to have so much more than so many of the people they met along the road from one Madisonville to the other. "Everybody going north on the road out of New Orleans had a story to tell," Doug said. "So many of them had just the clothes on their backs and their kids.
They were running out of gas. They had no money. They had no jobs," he said. "They had seen pictures of their homes totally under water. There were truly sad, sad stories." REHNQUIST: Chief justice dies at home (Continued from A1) husband.
Bush chose Roberts, a former Rehnquist clerk and friend, to replace O'Connor. Rehnquist said in July that he wanted to stay on the bench as long as his health would allow. The president could elevate to chief justice one of the court's conservatives, such as Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, but it's more likely he will choose someone from outside the court. Possible replacements include Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and federal courts of appeals judges J.
Michael Luttig, Edith Clement, Samuel A. Alito Michael McConnell, Emilio Garza, and James Harvie Wilkinson III. Others mentioned are former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, lawyer Miguel Estrada and former deputy attorney general Larry Thompson. Rehnquist announced last October that he had thyroid cancer. He had a trachea tube inserted to help him breathe and underwent radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
Details of the chief justice's illness and his plans had been tightly guarded. He looked frail at Bush's inauguration in January and missed five months of court sessions before returning to the bench in March. On the court's final meeting day of the last term, June 27, Rehnquist appeared gaunt and had difficulty as he announced the last decision of the term an opinion he wrote upholding a Ten Commandments display in Texas. His breathing was labored, and he kept the explanation short. He had no public appearances over the summer, although he was filmed by television crews in July as he left the hospital following two nights for treatment of a fever.
Rehnquist had an extraordinary career, with many historic milestones. CHANGES (Continued from A1) to Fort Knox from Missouri, Indiana and the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. The Armor Center and School won't leave for three years because Fort Benning has yet to build the necessary training fields and buildings to support the school. Fort Benning already has the Army's infantry counterpart to the Armor School. Training those branches of the Army in the same location should help to better prepare soldiers for future battles, Tucker said.
But the changes to Fort Knox were accomanied by raw emotion because of the state's history of base losses, said retired Brig. Gen. James E. Shane head of the state's Commission on Military Affairs, which lobbied to save Kentucky's military facilities. 15th Annual SOUTHERN GOSPEL QUARTET REUNION SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2005 2:00 P.M.
7:00 P.M. chaos were those without the resources to escape and, overwhelmingly, they were black. "The first few days were a natural disaster. The last four days were a man-made disaster," said Phillip Holt, 51, who was rescued from his home Saturday with his partner and three of their aging Chihuahuas. They left a fourth behind they couldn't grab in time.

A year later he was one of five Republican-nominated justices who voted to stop presidential ballot recounts in Florida, effectively deciding the election for Bush over Democrat Al Gore. "The Supreme Court of Florida ordered recounts of tens of thousands of so-called 'undervotes' spread through 64 of the state's 67 counties. This was done in a search for elusive perhaps delusive certainty as to the exact count of 6 million votes," he wrote.
Rehnquist, who championed states' rights and helped speed up executions, is the only member still on the court who voted on Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion. He opposed that decision, writing: "Even today, when society's views on abortion are changing, the very existence of the debate is evidence that the 'right' to an abortion is not so universally accepted as (Roe) would have us believe." He believed there was a place for some religion in government. He wrote the 5-4 decision in 2002 that said parents may use public tax money to send their children to religious schools. Two years later, he was distressed when the court passed up a chance to declare that the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is constitutional.
"The phrase 'under God' in the pledge seems, as a historical matter, to sum up the attitude of the nation's leaders, and to manifest itself in many of our public observances," he wrote. Rehnquist leaves without accomplishing the legal revolution he had hoped for as the nation's 16th chief justice. As Rehnquist read it, the Constitution lets states outlaw abortion and sponsor prayers in public schools but bars them from giving special, affirmativeaction preferences to racial minorities and women.
