...pictures in our story on Howard Dean, the shot of the candidate in his disordered Vermont kitchen got the most comments. "How could a man who lives in such an appalling mess be expected to organize our country's business?" asked an Indiana woman.

Flames laid waste to everything, leaving only the skeletons of a few cork oaks and the aluminum kitchen sink from a trailer where their vacationing daughter and grandchildren had been staying. "It looks like Verdun in 1916," she says. "The devastation is terrifying." Five dead tourists, 19 wounded firefighters, 30,000 hectares destroyed - spurred by unusually high winds, the worst fires in more than a decade...
