I don’t have the heart to tell Nyler that I suspect she is on to something. That many of the African-American work­ers from her neighborhood may never be welcomed back to rebuild their city. An hour earlier I had interviewed New Orleans’ top corporate lobbyist, Mark Drennen. As president and CEO of Greater New Orleans Inc., Drennen was in an expansive mood, pumped up by signs from Washington that the corpo­rations he represents – everything from Chevron to Liberty Bank to Coca-Cola – were about to receive a package of tax breaks, subsidies and relaxed regulations so generous, it would make the job of a lobbyist virtually obsolete…

Jackie Chan’s fans couldn’t be happier! For the martial art hero from Hong Kong, much adored for those action-cum-applesauce sequences, would not let his characters die, or engage in any ‘adult’ stuff in his movies for the sake of his young audiences.
