...time I hit my teens in the late '70s, New Orleans was hardening, and so was my father's attitude toward it. Crime was rising, white citizens were fleeing, conditions deteriorated in the public schools and hospitals, garbage littered the streets and the economy and tax base were beginning to falter. Our family trips became far less frequent, limited to the pursuit of necessities that couldn't be obtained in suburban shopping malls, medical appointments at the downtown offices of specialists and our annual trek to the Superdome for the Bayou Classic football game. When asked, my father declined...
...unfortunately, few easy options for digging yourself out. The only sure bet is to sell and downsize to a less expensive home or rental. Refinancing into a more stable loan--like a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage--may not lower your payments, but it will give you a steady base for planning a budget and help you avoid a jolt from any further rate hikes.

The play’s final two scenes manage to conclude both the acts that preceded them and return us from our foray into Wonderland.—Reviewer Jayme J. Herschkopf can be reached at herschk@fas.harvard.edu...
...Wendkos, a two-run double to Sal Iacono, and a walk before exiting with the score 3-1. “I thought Cole came out pretty good,” Walsh said. “I thought his undoing was when he threw that ball over to first base. I thought he lost a lot of his focus right there.” Senior Javier Castellanos was ineffective in relief of Cole, allowing both inherited runners and two additional Tigers to score on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.“Games like this, when...
