Still, it's hard not to get choked up when you see a sheriff recover a shaken but healthy baby--snatched out of her mother's arms by a tornado--from the mud outside what used to be her home.

There are no bad guys, the sun will always come back eventually, and you don't have to question your faith in human goodness over a hurricane.

...Bush advisers say Stephen Friedman, who co-chaired Goldman at Rubin's side, is being courted heavily for the NEC job. But candidates for other spots on the economic team have also been sought among nonfinancial companies.
