FROZEN IN TIME CAEN, France The memories are 64 years old but retold with the clarity of yesterday: a young boy lowered by rope into a deep dark cave, watching the sky above shrink to a small and distant patch of blue.

That hole was home for a month for Gerard Mangnan, his family and dozens of others. And it likely saved their lives. While they huddled underground, Allied and Nazi troops above were waging one of the toughest battles of the D-Day invasion.

Right or wrong, that was when blame firmly settled on biofuels for the surge in food prices. The diversion of American Corn from flour to fuel put the flat corn bread out of reach for Mexico's poorest. Two years later, the search is on for ways to keep corn on the table rather than in the gas tank.

MEASURE OF A NATION-VICTORY'S WORDS He spoke about posterity, and for it. But in looking forward at his finest hour, Barack Obama never forgot to look back. In a victory speech stirring not only for its content but for its journey into American yesterdays, the president-elect lionized and derided through the campaign for his speaking abilities managed to bask in party triumph even as he summoned his constituents-in-waiting to service and hope. The line between political speeches and presidential ones is usually axiomatic: They're political, or they're presidential. What Obama delivered Tuesday night was something in between an eloquent agenda built for the 21st century but crackling with the 1960s.

This story and all past installments of the Measure of a Nation series which includes stories, videos and anImations are packaged in an interactive in the national/measurenation folder.

For Hosted Custom News subscribers, a section front slugged MEASUREOFNATION is available. It includes the interactive, all the stories in the series and related videos.

HOLIDAYS: HIP ORNAMENTS Christmas tree ornaments tend to reflect styles we see in the year's home furnishings, as well as what's on the fashion runway.

We like to dress our tree as we dress our rooms and ourselves. This season, inspiration trotted the globe, from Morocco to Moscow, Punjab to Pyongyang. Stools and step chests grace the living room, while ethnic fabrics and motifs adorn wall art and clothing. So it's no surprise many holiday ornaments evoke these graphic prints and international sensibilities.
