Leah Hochbaum giggles a lot for a radical fanatic. But the 26-year-old mother of two from New York City possesses a will of steel and a boundless faith that she is obeying God's commandment.

Campaigning on a family-and-faith platform, he opposes school vouchers and supports federal programs that help children...
Borow envisions a District 7, one of Chicago's poorest, "where there is no need for welfare" and believes that empowerment zones, tax reform and faith in God will get it there.
