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." He went to Georgia State University and then to work at North Carolina National Bank (NCNB) in Charlotte as a credit analyst - his first banking job. That was back...
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.

As of this July, the custody case was still unsettled. And the fact that Wooten served on the Alaskan equivalent of a SWAT team shows that...
...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. It is the country where our children already live and that our parents will never really know, a country with a much greater potential for justice and creativity - and perhaps even prosperity - than the sepia-tinted version...
