Death toll outlook improves

Lt. Gen Russel Honore, the Army general in charge of the U.S. military's hurricane relief effort, said today that Hurricane Katrina's death toll in New Orleans will be "a heck of a lot lower" than 10,000. That's the figure the city's mayor had estimated recently. President Bush will fly to New Orleans later today.
