Yale Daily News: Alum Amoss keeps Times-Pic press running

Jim Amoss, the executive editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, is not in a situation most would call enviable. . . . His house on Esplanade Avenue has been looted, the electronics taken and the windows smashed in. . . . But amid all the chaos and despair more than four weeks after Hurricane Katrina made landfall, Amoss says he is living the dream. "If I could subtract all the personal anguish from this, this is a journalist's dream," Amoss said. "This is an extraordinary story ... Nothing will ever surpass this in sheer fascination and drama and unpredictability and importance to the community that we serve."
