And to add even more power, take a look at panels module. You can for example create a three column display that only shows up for one page that includes.
* multiple Views * Individual nodes, * Blocks * Custom PHP code.
These are independent of theme regions and only show up on the page you add them to. You can move the individual blocks/views/nodes around on the panel and reorder them using a slick gui interface. I use panels on almost all of my sites.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you get additional pages which
act like the front page, i.e. you can have a bunch of individually editable stories floating around which are serialized onto a single page?
The views module would do that for you: Views and Views UI together for the editing interface at Admin > Site building > Views. There are several good tutorials for the views module on drupal.org so I won't repeat here.
Each view can support requests to a particular URL by enabling its Page mode: so you can register a view to handle a request to mysite.example.com/views_of_my_nodes/most_recent_sandwiches , or whatever. There's no real restriction on the syntax.
