THIS IS THE STORY OF THE HURRICANE

It was almost a year ago that the Gulf Coast suffered through the double-blow of Hurricane Katrina, and then the influx of every TV journalist on the planet, the latter crisis leading to dangerously high levels of hairspray.

To commemorate the event, the White House has announced that next week President Bush will mark the one-year anniversary of Katrina with a visit to the Gulf Coast. The trip will include an overnight stay in New Orleans, where Bush is expected to honor several hurricane survivors gone wild with the prestigious "Beads of Freedom."
