Before he became the President, CEO and Chairman of Bank of America Corp. - and the man whose $50 billion purchase of brokerage firm Merrill Lynch & Co. was some of the only good news on one of Wall Street's worst-ever days - Kenneth Lewis was a Mississippi boy who lived in a town so small he once joked that you had to go one town over "just to be born."

Sure, here are a few: In Sydney, Australia, a riot was sparked one summer day in 2004 by the rumor that an aboriginal boy on a bicycle had been chased by police and died after he was tragically impaled on a spiked fence; the rumor incited a group of 200 youths to throw home-made explosives at police, 40 of whom were injured in the melee.

But the state troopers investigated all the allegations and let Wooten off with just a 10-day suspension (the police union eventually got it down to five).

...Obama faces an uphill struggle between now and Nov. 4. He has no personal anecdotes to match Palin's mooseburgers. His story of a boy whose father came from Kenya and mother from Kansas takes place in an America not yet mythologized, a country that is struggling to be born - a multiracial country whose greatest cultural and economic strength is its diversity.
