DIED. CHARLES WERNER, 88, Pulitzer-prizewinning cartoonist; near Indianapolis, Ind. Werner sketched for the Indianapolis Star for 47 years, but his winning image was done for the Oklahoman. Drawn shortly after the Sudetenland was handed over to Hitler in 1938, it proved sadly prophetic: a scroll marked NOBEL PEACE PRIZE lies beside a gravestone bearing the epitaph CZECHOSLOVAKIA...
...easy: there are still arguments all along the road. Particularly in towns that began to totter after losing a factory or military base, you can hear the debate over the price worth paying for survival: What kind of industry, what kind of zoning, how many prisons? In Rising Sun, Ind., they ask if it is worth inviting in the riverboat casino, with all the cars and all-night grocery stores and Gamblers Anonymous meetings that come with it, if that means people will no longer have to drive two towns over to see a dentist. In Hutchinson, Kans., they wonder...
This conflict sits atop something ancient. "We are a nation of individuals and a nation of cooperators," notes Irwin Miller, the 87-year-old patriarch of Columbus, Ind., who used to run Cummins Engine Co. "Both are in our culture.

Ever since, each generation has struggled with the uniquely American faith that community and freedom must be compatible. It may be that...
Hospital care in Bedford, Ind., is an odd case of capitalism in action--maybe even hyperaction. Should you get into a car wreck on Highway 50 as it passes through town, two local hospitals can send ambulances to compete for your business. If you are sufficiently alert, you can choose between Dunn Memorial Hospital and Bedford Regional Medical Center. To avoid unseemly tugs of war, the city requires that the hospitals alternate pickups of victims not well enough to state a preference. And the police are on hand to sort things out. "They'll back off when...
DIED. ROSE MONROE, 77, the can-do poster gal of World War II who inspired America's female foot soldiers to join the work force; in Clarksville, Ind. A factory employee in the 1940s, Monroe literally embodied the character Rosie the Riveter, made famous by the song of the same name and the familiar J. Howard Miller poster. In a subsequent film for war bonds, she symbolized the era's patriotic working women...
