DIED. RUDY PERPICH, 67, Governor of Minnesota, 1977-79, 1983-91; from colon cancer; in Minneapolis.

His deadline for that decision appears to be Thanksgiving, and he is leaning toward running as a Republican...
...dreams go, Michael Little Boy Sr.'s is a modest one. He would like to move. Not into a mansion. But into someplace better than where he lives now. Little Boy, 41, lives in a one-room shack. Along with him live his wife, five children and two nieces: nine people jammed into a space that measures 20 ft. by 20 ft. The house, on the Pine Ridge Oglala Sioux reservation in South Dakota, has one tiny window with a plastic pane. It is made of Sheetrock and cheap wood siding. In winter the frigid South Dakota wind tears through...
