...Claudia Wallis for the very fine cover story on autism [May 15]. I have been researching and teaching about autism for more than 30 years, and I believe that hers is one of the most accurate and useful articles to appear in the popular press. Autism is being rethought because of fresh insights from individuals with autism and the scientific community. Bravo for having made that new information accessible to the general public...
...levees are being reconsidered, the schools reimagined, the whole region rethought, with ideas for riverfront parks, light-rail systems and everything short of whirlycopters filling the sky. Some of it may even happen. Not all the plans mesh, and most of them require dollars that may not all materialize, but in a city that has suffered like this one, the power of this wholesale reinventing is a sign of life in itself...

...Katrina. Her company played a role in the Hurricane Pam simulation, which involved almost 300 officials getting ready for a major-category storm hitting New Orleans. But after witnessing the devastation left by Katrina and the blundered response from relief officials, Beriwal wonders if the training needs to be rethought. "The system failed," she told TIME when asked who in the end was to blame. "We all share the blame." After saying this, she begins...
