...Arizona's plan is the wizened grandfather of them all, then Tennessee's is the cranky infant. In January 1994, less than two months after the Federal Government approved the state for a 1115 waiver, TennCare was under way. Perhaps the most ambitious state-waiver program in the nation, this managed-care system provides coverage to about 1.2 million people, or nearly one-quarter of the entire state.

But Barnett and Autry's father pressured him to return, and by the time football started, "things just turned around like that...
...Mississippi, whose slogan is "Clegg Won't Pull Your Leg" and who swears that Jesus is his campaign manager. There's also the poet and former seaman Michael Levinson from Buffalo, New York, who proposes a jobs program to build 10,000 clipper ships, and Caroline Killeen of Flagstaff, Arizona, the self-described "Hemp Lady" and ex-nun who advocates legalizing marijuana as a way of enabling Americans to get back in touch with nature. For $2 she'll sell you a bumper sticker that reads LET CLINTON INHALE...
