...Marines, ensure the public is with them. But Biden's hearings served a partisan political purpose as well: they gave all sides a chance to gauge the position of the one Republican in Washington who can still stop a foreign-policy freight train. Senator Richard Lugar, the five-term Hoosier, is the pivotal G.O.P. voice in the Senate on foreign affairs; where he goes, the balance of the Senate usually follows. Lugar has long championed Saddam's downfall, but his questions last week suggested he now fears, as Bush's father once did, that toppling Saddam could lead to even...

...NCAA tournament. Davis grew up in crushing poverty in Alabama and had careers in football and basketball before he started coaching. An African American in a state with a history pockmarked by racism and a stutterer who struggles through press conferences, Davis has received ugly e-mail from fervent Hoosier fans and fielded what he obliquely refers to as "the craziest questions" on his radio show.

Penning the transformational speech is Mike Gerson, the bespectacled former journalist who can quote passages from Martin Luther King more easily than the bromides of Barry Goldwater. An evangelical like Bush, a Hoosier who worked for Dan Coats, the former Indiana Senator, Gerson was one of the scribes of compassionate conservatism before it was given a moniker. Bush will call on his generation, the baby boomers, to lead the nation to take advantage of prosperous times. "I've seen the culture change once, and I can see it change again," the Texas Governor once told TIME about his fellow boomers...
...trustees and president of Indiana University explained they are "ethically" beholden to give Knight "one more chance" to prove he's not dangerously unstable (he's just harmlessly unstable, really). At odds are the apparently blinding effects of Hoosier loyalty and broader national standards of acceptable behavior.
