...assistant for the local sheriff, and her husband William, an engineer at Kenworth, would stand to save about $800 from Bush's tax cut. "I trust Bush when he says it's meant for working families," says Jo Ann. The couple has put off a trip to Cocoa Beach, Fla.--their first vacation without the kids--because of economic worries. If the tax cut comes through, Jo Ann says, "we might be able to take that trip"--as long as William keeps his job. Two weeks ago, Kenworth announced 135 more layoffs...
...moral quandaries, the one-stop-shopping aspect of cloning is a plus to many gay couples. Lesbians would have the chance to give birth with no male involved at all; one woman could contribute the ovum, the other the DNA. Christine DeShazo and her partner Michele Thomas of Miramar, Fla., have been in touch with Zavos about producing a baby this way. Because they have already been ostracized as homosexuals, they aren't worried about the added social sting that would come with cloning.

Last week a new theme park opened in Orlando, Fla., called the Holy Land Experience. The founder, Marvin Rosenthal, says he is a "Hebrew Christian."

This seems to be Rosenthal's idea too, though...

But "it was never about the money," says Morris ("Sandy") Weinberg, the original lead prosecutor alongside Giuliani, who now practices law in Tampa, Fla. "If the biggest tax evaders in the U.S. never did jail time, we could never prosecute another tax case...
...like wearing shorts and skirts that show my stomach," says Tonya Rodriguez, an eighth-grader at Seven Springs Middle School in New Port Richey, Fla. "I have a really flat stomach, and I like it." Her principal, Roni Sushko, isn't quite so charmed. She has cited Tonya, 13, for dress-code violations eight times since the beginning of the school year, suspending her on two of those occasions. Tonya's infractions include wearing miniskirts and spaghetti-strap tops, which run afoul of regulations that the school's county instituted last year. The new code specifies that all skirts...
