Poll ranks national leaders' popularity

1. Rudolph Giuliani, former New York City mayor, 64.2
Letter: Resurrecting rails could aid travel
Routine rail travel is still popular in the Northeast corridor - Boston through New York to the nation's capital. Shamefully, we no longer have the same throughout the Southwest region, as pointed out Friday in a Las Vegas Sun editorial. Some years ago Amtrak stopped service in this area with no opposition that I can remember.
Artworks that make a home
By Kristen Peterson
While most serious collectors invest years perusing auctions and staying abreast of East and West Coast galleries, newcomers find it difficult to navigate the mystique of the art world.
TAKE FIVE: WENDELL WHITE
By Rob Miech
UNLV senior swingman Wendell White drops to his knees every night and prays. "I'm blessed," he said. "God has blessed me. Yeah, I talk to God. I'm happy I'm in this position right now."
Earthquake a real possibility
To Nevadans who have grown complacent about the potential for a devastating temblor rocking the region, a state earthquake-activity report presents an unsettling conclusion.
Nurturing is not offensive
The mother, Emily Gillette of New Mexico, says she was told by the flight attendant to put a blanket over the child to cover up. Gillette says she wasn't exposing anything, but she says the flight attendant told her she was "offended."
Letter: Nevadan should have gotten portrait job
It didn't have to be Baker, but by Guinn choosing an artist from Washington state he makes a mockery of Nevada artists and reinforces the misconception that people from elsewhere hold that Nevada is not as good as other states.
More pork on Nevada's plate
By Lisa Mascaro
WASHINGTON - When it comes to drawing tax dollars from Washington back to Nevada, Sen. Harry Reid's gain is the Silver State's pork.
1,500 shows but never a dull moment
What: The 1,500th performance of "Mamma Mia!"
Ugly specter of vigilantism
Roger Barnett, who owns or leases from the government 22,000 acres of ranchland near the U.S.-Mexico border in southeast Arizona, was sued by Ronald Morales and Morales' father. The men said they were hunting with three of their children in October 2004 when Barnett threatened them and called them names as they legally crossed some of the land he leases from the state.
Iraq's forgotten warriors
Lured by good pay, truck drivers, mechanics and others sign on to work in Iraq or Afghanistan and often quickly find themselves in combat zones, usually unarmed and untrained.
Congress may find travel more taxing
By Lisa Mascaro
WASHINGTON - After globe-trotting for free with their spouses on trips sponsored by private corporations and interest groups, some members of Nevada's congressional delegation may be getting a visit from the taxman.
John Katsilometes on an energetic performance by Liza Minnelli, who gave her all for 'her babies'
Afterward I asked one of the "Burn The Floor" cast members, probably in his mid-'20s, what he thought. He shook his head and said, "Incredible. It was the best show I have ever seen."
Letter: War casualties are on president's head
The slogan "Support the Troops" was just code for supporting Bush in his illegal war against the Iraqi people.
LOOKING IN ON: GAMING
By Liz Benston
Casino proponents and foes have something to be thankful for this holiday season.
Ron Kantowski on what could have been a day in the media spotlight for UNLV basketball
It comes as no shock to those who have watched the once mighty Rebel program surrender its place from alongside the Final Four bluebloods that the marquee college basketball game was played across town, at Allen Fieldhouse West - aka the Orleans Arena. It was there that Kansas and Florida traded baskets deep into overtime in front of a raucous crowd composed mostly of blue-and-red clad Jayhawks' fans.
