...emerged as a forceful advocate of vouchers. Others back Rod Paige, superintendent of schools in Houston. Or Joyce Ladner, a sociologist at the Brookings Institution, whose idea of reviving orphanages to rescue kids from dysfunctional homes was appropriated by Gingrich. The big question is whether Bush would be wise enough to add independent-minded blacks of that caliber to his inner circle or would he succumb to the old Republican habit of stacking his government with second raters and Uncle Toms...
...could potentially decide the election. A lawsuit--filed not by Al Gore but by an Altamonte Springs personal-injury lawyer--demands that the county throw out some 15,000 absentee ballots because of alleged fraud. That would give Gore a net gain of about 5,000 votes, more than enough to win the White House. The plaintiff, a Democrat named Harry Jacobs, charges that because G.O.P. workers were allowed to fill in blanks on thousands of absentee-ballot applications last October, none of the ballots should count. A similar suit was filed Friday against Martin County, another wealthy, predominantly Republican...

But in a questionable display of judgment, she let two G.O.P. workers spend 10 days in her office writing in the numbers on some 2,000 forms. "All I did was provide these people with a chair in my outer office," Goard has said. "I would have allowed the Democrats to do the same thing." But the Democratic form didn't have the same flaw. And once the applications...
...Hybrids allow people to feel they are doing the right thing for the planet," says Michael Feinstein, a Santa Monica councilman who just bought a Prius for his mother. That's nice, but the breakthrough is that Americans finally have green cars that are convenient enough and cool enough to drive...
