A lost city

After a week when the human family loses one of its special cities, OperaCast asks that we do what we can today. You can view a brief list that we now have up, a list in progress, that cites a handful of those organizations that are doing what they can right now to assuage the indescribable suffering in the Gulf. They need all our help:
