...quick ribbon-cutting ceremony in Reno. This year, uncharacteristically stepping out from the President's shadow, the First Lady undertook the most extended solo campaign trip of her long career-a 5,500-mile, six-day tour that took her to seven states and exposed her to rough weather and even rougher questioning.

The west wind off the river was rising. The evening was going to rain Lightning flashed in the far trees illuminating dark edges for seconds with electric nets Off, distant the thunder collapsed the blue bluffs like puffs of Indian smoke instantly dead. The hill shifted in the art shifted in the air positioning itself waiting...
