...shocking turn of events, Galluccio garnered the additional support of Henrietta Davis, David P. Maher, Sullivan and Braude, catapulting him to the mayor's seat...
PARENTAL TECH SUPPORT Don't just buy your kids a computer and expect them to become science and technology wizards all by themselves. Youngsters want some reliable mom-and-dad support to bolster their science education. The latest Lemelson-M.I.T. Invention Index survey reveals that more than half of teens, 55%, believe parental encouragement to do well in science is an excellent idea.

In this instance, though, it is a hurdle that's even more aggravating to jump when he knows that the threatened withdrawal of Christian Coalition support in the general election is an empty one - in his fervor, Robertson failed to explain where that support would be directed instead; short of boycotting the political process altogether, Christian conservatives won't have much choice beyond the GOP nominee...
