The Front Page: Saints right the ship, 'Interview with the Vampire' author Anne Rice dies, and more

JETS ARRIVE JUST IN TIME: Well, not in time to prevent the Saints from going into Week 14 with the longest active losing streak in the NFL, but the match-up against the perennial AFC East punching bags allowed the Saints to stop the slide at five games. Alvin Kamara shined in his return as New Orleans defeated the Jets handily, 30-9, and pulled their record to 6-7. But as Rod Walker notes, the road isn't going to get any easier from here. You'll find all our coverage here.


ANNE RICE DIES: Anne Rice, author of 'Interview with the Vampire,' has died. Doug MacCash has a look at the impact the New Orleans-born author and her work had on the city. 


ELECTION RESULTS: Saturday's election wasn't loaded with high-profile races, but there were a couple of significant decisions made by area voters. For New Orleans sheriff, the people wanted change, choosing Susan Hutson, a former prosecutor and independent police monitor, to replace incumbent Sheriff Marlon Gusman, who has held the post for 17 years. On the north shore, the proposal to build a new casino complex in the Slidell area was shot down. You'll find all our election coverage here.
