...battle is not so much between faiths as within them. The more traditionally religious that people say they are, the more often they pray and attend worship services, the more likely they are to vote for Bush, says Professor John Green of the University of Akron in Ohio. "Where we used to have antagonism between religious traditions, Catholics versus Protestants versus Jews," he says, "now what we have is liberal Protestants linking up with liberal Catholics and liberal Jews against an alliance of conservative Protestants, conservative Catholics and conservative Jews...
After two uninspired years at a liberal-arts college near his hometown of Akron, Ohio, Nathan Yanko, 22, enrolled in a two-year culinary-arts program at the CIA. He's now taking a 30-week baking and pastry program at the school's Greystone campus in Napa Valley, Calif.

She still "was in denial," she says, when he joined the Army two days after turning 18. Nonetheless, she says, "I'm proud of him for doing what he believed in." Although Jocelyn opposes the war, she never leaves...
Jocelyn confesses that once she was assured Jim's life was not in danger, she was worried the shrapnel had permanently disfigured her handsome son. "I know it's ridiculous," she says. "He's alive." Charles says he knows that Jim, who will spend Christmas recuperating in Akron, has the strength to prevail over this setback...
