The most depressing post-K article to date
Thanks, Bloomberg. I'll give you the most positive comment here before you read the rest:
``I have no doubt that New Orleans will recover as a better city than it was pre-Katrina,'' Tulane's Cowen says. ``I just think the process is probably going to take longer and be more painful than it probably should have been.''
