Are we living in our own version of "The Wizard of Oz?" And in this iteration, where does the Yellow Brick Road lead? We have our Dorothy - first lady Dawn Gibbons - the good-hearted but slightly lost ingenue who may have more savvy than we think. Or at least enough to set up a consulting company and rake in money from her husband's political activities. And then we have one person auditioning to play the roles of the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion - Gov. Jim Gibbons. He seems to be displaying all the requisite characteristics so far. And so we have to ask the question that was so easy to answer with other chief executives: Where is the man (or men) behind the curtain? And where's the happy ending?
