		<title>The First Ones In.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ask Hank Smith when we&#8217;ll know the coast is coming back. If the coast is going to &#8212; and Smith thinks it will, and so does just about anyone else who still lives here, because they&#8217;d have bolted years ago if they didn&#8217;t &#8212; then there are going to be signs.
