Ray Nagin returned from a meeting with President Bush yesterday a much calmer man than the one who earlier issued a statement of warning to CNN. In the warning, he said New Orleans was "hanging on by a thread" and "only God knows" if it would survive another night. [23:53] [23:53] But after the meeting, he says he thinks people are paying attention now and "hopefully they'll continue to do what they're doing." Session Close: Sun Sep 04 00:00:00 2005
