SPECIAL FEATURES: MEASURE OF A NATION This is the latest entry in "Measure of a Nation," a yearlong series about the presidency and the 2008 election as seen through the prism of the culture. Stories in this package will continue until Inauguration Day.

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.
