...Vermont, a region that has produced millionaire ice-cream philanthropists Ben and Jerry, a socialist mayor and, most interesting, the rock band Phish. Launched by guitarist Trey Anastasio and three buddies in a University of Vermont dorm room in 1983, Phish has built a hugely successful career as an underground band around the quaint notion that music can be used for building a sense of community, not just making money.

Judiciary chair Henry Hyde and chief Republican investigator David Schippers plan to keep their post-vote deliberations under lock and key -- or at least low-key -- until hearings formally begin after the November 3 elections.
