I have searched and searched, but I cannot come up with anything on this website that comes close to answering my needs, so I am posting this as a last-ditch effort.

I'd like to show two nodes at once. If I have a "Story" node at /node/1, and a "Poll" node at /node/2, how do I get those two related items onto a single page? I really wanted to create a Navigation Menu item called "Awards Show", and then have both the related story at /node/1 and the related poll at /node/2 display at the same time. It shouldn't really be this hard to create a top-level link in Navigation that, when clicked upon, will show one, two, or even three nodes as it's 'content'.

Isn't there anybody out there who's currently doing this? If so, please tell me the Drupal-ized search words that I need to use while searching the forums for this concept?

once installed you can write a php snippet to point to a category a node up to 4 nodes can easily be placed. the following puts the teaser from any given node.

$nid=433;
print dashboard_get_node($nid, true, false, true);

or You could create View for each type of nodes ( the meaning of top stories , top news ) then use something like this code for each node.

<?php
$view_name = 'Linux'; //name of view
$limit = 3; // number of returns from your view (news or pages or stories etc..)
$view_args = array();
$data=views_get_view($view_name);
$view_data=views_build_view('items', $data, $view_args, FALSE, $limit);
foreach ($view_data['items'] as $item){
  $node= node_load(array('nid'=>$item->nid));
  echo $node->body;
}
