...also experiencing a religious awakening, one that began with his now famous 1985 encounter with evangelist Billy Graham, at the Bush-family compound in Kennebunkport, Me. After praying privately with Graham--"It was a real personal religious visit," he says--he joined a men's Bible-study group in Midland, "taking inventory of himself," his friend Donald Ensenat says. As the economic crisis deepened, so did his faith. "The words took on a new meaning," he told TIME. "It's not simple, and each person's walk is different. I have sought redemption, and I believe I have received...
...reading program worked out well. My daughter started fourth grade with a clean slate, and we both formed a daily habit of reading fiction. Last fall we joined with some other mothers and daughters from school and formed a book group. Working from a list provided by a local bookstore, we choose titles appropriate for adolescents and read them together.

Religion in public schools can only polarize a community that needs, now more than ever, to be held together. RAMAN KHANNA Springfield, Ohio...
...theaters to ask kids to show photo identification before seeing R-rated films. This carding, in my opinion, is just a silly waste of time. First, the majority of movies are rated R, and they tend to be the most exciting and desirable to see. In general, when a group of kids, let's say age 13 or 14, go out to see a movie, and their choices are a Disney cartoon, an adult romance or a violent thriller, they're going to be drawn to the thriller. If they can't get into that, they'll probably just...
