...going to find anything good to write about?" people ask again and again, as though they are aware of how things must look to a bunch of outsiders and know that much of what is great and sweet and honorable in these places never makes headlines. The Cairo deputy fire chief will tell you how many people appear in an instant, out of nowhere, when a windstorm sweeps through town and smashes a block of homes. Anyplace you have good friends is a place worth staying. Here and elsewhere, there are big groups of people--ministers and teachers and store...
...call it McCain's revenge. During the primaries last winter, he was hit by a $2.5 million ad attack by a group called Republicans for Clean Air; two Dallas tycoons and big Bush supporters eventually confessed to the stealth attack.

...gold-plated teeth are the only thing that hints he was once a man who wouldn't let himself be stared at. "I don't know how Howard killed somebody, and I don't care," says Cain about his favorite prisoner. "I care about how he is now." Even though Louisiana offers no hope for parole, Cain says he believes Howard is rehabilitated and should be freed if he can meet the family of the man he killed and receive its forgiveness. Howard nods in agreement, because justice is as simple and brutal as that, even if he is going...
