Most retro-bikes are seen with a basket, which can be attached to the front or the back. These include the small wicker model, the milk crate, the traditional metal grid and the snappable, apparently useless leather pouch which hides beneath and in back of the seat. Nothing may be carried in these baskets. The seat is either in black or tan leather and is most often eaten away at the edges by some sort of decades' old fungus.

All the same, when the House voted earlier this month to approve a Republican proposal for a $7 million voucher plan for Washington--a basket-case system where by some calculations 40% of the kids drop out before high school graduation--just one black member supported it, Oklahoma Republican J.C. Watts. The D.C. project, which offered up to $3,200 in tuition assistance apiece to 2,000 of the city's 78,000 public school students...
