High Noon in Crawford

Vanity Fair's Evgenia Peretz presents an interesting though not so flattering story about Crawford and Waco which begins, "President Bush's ... ranch was intended as a perfect backdrop for his cowboy image. But a grieving mother, a deadly hurricane, and disenchanted neighbors have brought a dose of reality to his doorstep."

How does one respond to a story like this? My friend Dave Crockett says, "A city that is written about often is better off than one that lives in anonymity." That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Looking forward to heal the past?
