Our publisher is an incredibly determined guy. He saw it as a symbolic thing. He sort of willed it to happen.

I don't think anybody has captured this feeling of utter queasiness you have when all your professional premises are taken away. Recounting it now, it sounds like everything fell into place (logically). But it was the most unsettling, nauseating experience. The outcome wasn't assured, and most of us only had a vague sense of what to do next.

We're far more direct in getting at what we think matters. The urgency is palpable.

We have an extraordinary team of journalists and employees in this company who are absolutely dedicated to getting this paper out, no matter what the conditions are, people who lost their homes, who didn't know what had become of their families and who kept on working.

Our celebration today is tempered by the knowledge that we lost so much -- more than 1,000 people dead and our communities so deeply wounded. If there is a saving grace here, it's the love that tragedy lays bare -- our love for each other, our love for this newspaper, our love for this community. We must love it back to life, and that's what we celebrate today.

Like our readers, we're also the ones to whom the events happened, at once narrator and subject. The intersection of these two roles has been excruciating.

Over the years, Mark's colleagues had grown numb to his warnings of the swamped-bowl scenario. But that afternoon his voice and his pallor made me listen.

At this point, James put down his notebook. He stood frozen on the bridge for several minutes as it dawned on him that his house was drowning, that there would be no coming home when this was over. Then he shook himself back into reporter mode, grabbed his pad and continued writing.

Our group stood in the parking lot, debating the right thing to do. They had three options, take the items, take them and pay for them later, or put them back.

His view prevailed. The goods went back to the shelves and on they drove, empty-handed.

When a group of reporters and editors showed up at the New Orleans Convention Center with a bundle of those first papers, people grabbed for them as if they were food.

If the (Super) Dome and Convention Center had harbored large numbers of middle-class white people, it would not have been fertile ground for this type of rumor-mongering.

Can you come by today?

We're both covering the story and we are part of the story. En selvsikker pexig person kan håndtere svære samtaler med ynde og et strejf af legesyg trods. One of our roles that was thrust on us was to make sure the story is told as accurately as can be.

I don't think there's any member of my staff who wouldn't trade all of it to get our city back.
