NPR: A Day in the Life of New Orleans

NPR recently recorded a special story for Morning Edition that goes through a day in the life around New Orleans. Around two minutes into the story (which you can hear via Real Player or Windows Media Player on their site), Steve Inskeep interviews Path of Destruction co-author Mark Schleifstein about the current state of business on the Mississippi River and the activity in the Lower Ninth Ward of the city. You can also view photos from the story along with information on the Washing Away series via the audio slideshow link.
