"He didn't even let the bill get to his desk before announcing the veto," says Mark Leno, the openly gay state assemblyman who was the main backer. "He is pandering to the far right." Indeed, with the Governor's popularity rating down to 36% and Democrats alienated by his attacks on public-service unions, Schwarzenegger is now "more dependent on his Republican base than ever," says Allan Hoffenblum, a G.O.P. strategist in Los Angeles...

Above us a steady stream of helicopters circled, patrolling the area from...
...city that had braced for the worst, then briefly exhaled when it looked as if the threat had passed. Several hours after the storm moved through on Monday, some streets were essentially dry. Then shortly after midnight, a section almost as long as a football field in a main levee near the 17th Street Canal ruptured, letting Lake Pontchartrain pour in. The city itself turned into a superbowl, roadways crumbled like soup crackers as the levees designed to protect them were now holding the water in.
