...Q.The 12th Amendment prohibits a state's Electoral College members from voting for both a President and a Vice President who are inhabitants of their own state. Is this a problem for Texas? If Bush is for strict interpretation of the framers' intentions, how can he think he gets around the Constitution by having Cheney--obviously an inhabitant of Dallas--register to vote in Wyoming...
...session eight hours a day, 195 days a year. That schedule leaves just four weeks for summer break, but it means more time for students to hone their fundamentals and pursue electives like art and music. How much more time? If Parish sticks to this regimen through 12th grade, the extra days and hours will add up to almost four more years of schooling...

Shevchik led the team while earning All-American honors, taking eighth place in the 200 backstroke and 12th in the 400 individual medley. McConnell finished 19th in the 1500 freestyle, with Martin only three spots behind...
