What's a nut graf and how do I write it?
Thank you, but isn't that what the LEDE is supposed to be all about?

Or is the lede just the MOST important part of the story?
 
The nut graf, which often will start in the third or fourth paragraph of an article, will explain what the story is about, including much but rarely all of the information that would have been contained in a lede, so as to keep the reader interested.

It is short for "In a Nutshell" paragraph.
