In the South, in the steaming basin of the Delta, is New Orleans, the most romantic city in the United States; a city that every American wants to see once before he dies. The two cities are fascinating and significant: both in their life-style and in their problems, they are as different as two American cities can be - the North and South poles of the American way of life.
