THE BIG STORY, BY MATT TAYLOR
The former Nebraska governor running to win back his old seat in the U.S. Senate told The National Memo in an exclusive interview Tuesday that he was lured back into public life by something many consider increasingly elusive: the potential to solve nagging national problems the old-fashioned way, with strong bipartisan cooperation. But that doesn't mean he will abandon the populist fight.

"When men and women go to work and obey the law, they should share in the results of the production," said Kerrey, usually a centrist Democrat. "And the market won't always value them the way we value them personally, the way we value teachers or the people who manufacture our products.

FEATURED COLUMN: LEONARD PITTS JR.
That is what America is -- hope and defiance in the face of challenge -- and there is something oddly patriotic in Springsteen's evocation of that in these hard times. Not the easy patriotism of Lee Greenwood's song and children waving sparklers on July 4th, but the hard and determined patriotism of those who will be down, but never stay down, never accept the gap between the America that is and the one that ought to be.
