...just as the bush mechanics got their red truck home, so too have the Pintupi managed to steer their own solution to kidney disease. Why dislocate family and culture by uprooting to Alice Springs, the late pastor and Pintupi elder Smithy Zimran asked his friend Peter Toyne, when a dialysis machine could be brought to Kintore? "It's a really simple thing to say," said Toyne at the opening. "It's been a very big battle to make it come true."

A former Governor who consistently wins in a heavily Republican state, Bayh is a centrist's dream on paper. But after Kerry's defeat, Democrats may want to steer clear of nominating another Senator, even a former one like Edwards. After all, no member of Congress has won the White House since 1960. Governors have fared much better. For that reason, expect New Mexico's Bill Richardson, Iowa's Tom Vilsack and Pennsylvania's Ed Rendell...
