...Glenn was bred to be a Republican and straddle racial lines. The youngest son of a retired grade school principal and counselor, he grew up in Columbus, Ga., with parents who stood out for their affiliation with the G.O.P. "My father believed in individual responsibility and less government," says Glenn. He spent his last three years of high school at Episcopal, a D.C.-area boarding school, before heading off to Davidson College, a favorite of Southern gentry. That was followed by stints as a legislative aide to Cochran, a policy assistant in the Bush White House and convention adviser...

...inner circle is made up mostly of whites, but he has also befriended Gen Xers like Yusef Jackson, son of Jesse. The balancing act is most evident in his campaign video, a multicultural melange showing Glenn with kids and farmers.

...Glenn wins in November, the person he may need to thank will be Bishop. The Democrat eked out a 54% win over a white Republican two years ago in a district that is two-thirds white, but improved that standing with good constituent service--and an occasional visit to a rattlesnake roundup. "A lot of whites were scared to vote for a black, but Sanford changed all that," agrees R.S. Smith, 65, a white retiree in Bainbridge, looking over at Glenn. "Yeah, I'll give this fella a look...

...through such current luminaries as John Glenn, William Bratton and Wendy's founder Dave Thomas. Freemasonry probably began formally in the 1600s as an English gentleman's club, but by 1717 had evolved into an engine of the European Enlightenment. Its members were committed to egalitarianism, civic participation and other ideals expressed through tropes of the stoneworkers trade: the square for straightforward virtue; the compass to circumscribe one's passions; the plumb line to stay upright. There was little religion but much ritual, which enraged churchmen and engaged conspiracy theorists, who still flood the Web with Masonic villainies...
