The Sinister Underbelly & A Slip of the Tongue

'And when we get back to America,' one stunned TV anchorman said By James Langton, Philip Sherwell in New Orleans, Jenny Jarvie in Houston and Walter Ellis in New York (Filed: 04/09/2005) via Jack's Newswatch, Sept. 5, 05

[. . . . ] But like the traditional breakfast dish of deep-fried doughnut pillows known as beignets, the centre of New Orleans was a fragile and ephemeral place. Around the clock, dozens of police cruisers patrolled the streets of the French Quarter and the neighbouring Victorian Garden District, keeping out the city's sinister underbelly.

Without them, the tourists would soon have felt the pressure of a blade or gun at their backs, as thieves relieved them of wallets, cameras or, worst of all, their lives. For this was the other New Orleans, one of America's murder capitals, where the number of people killed this year had already reached 192 - or 10 times the national average - before Hurricane Katrina. The sound of gunfire was so common that residents did not even bother to call the police. [. . . . ]
