...schooled kids has waned; perhaps three-quarters of universities now have policies for dealing with home-schooled applicants, according to Cafi Cohen, author of The Homeschoolers' College Admissions Handbook. Today Harvard admissions officers attend home-schooling conferences looking for applicants, and Rice and Stanford admit home schoolers at rates equal to or higher than those for public schoolers. These schools compete for students like L.J. Decker, 17, from Katy, Texas, who scored 1560 on the SAT and was part of a team of home schoolers who won the Toshiba ExploraVision contest for their idea of a futuristic scuba device that...

He was sweet on the surface and wild at heart...
...cash will pour in from devoted conservatives all over the country faster than you can say "North Carolina barbecue." Helms could announce he's running again just to spite Ted Kennedy, The New York Times and The Raleigh News and Observer - all three of which he holds in equal contempt for their liberal views...
