"One-third would be easy to move off the rolls, one-third would be harder and one-third would be impossible." But that conventional wisdom has been abandoned now that states have begun cutting well into the bottom third of their rolls. Caseloads have dropped 69% in Mississippi in the past three years, 81% in Wisconsin and 84% in Wyoming...

...socializing, why come? Cable. Fatima also said adding a VCR would make the room better than first grade. Currently, the selected programming ranges from Fatima's choice, Disney's "The Big Blue House," to "The Jerry Springer Show," while ESPN and CNN get high approval ratings. Eli A. Poliakoff `00 says "Springer" and sports shows are the "only purpose of this room." Loker employee Robert C. Amaral enjoys watching "Springer" on his breaks, chortling that "watching this show makes me feel my life just isn't that...
