...officials met over several months to decide what to do with the two buildings where a gunman killed 32 students, and then himself. Simply tearing down Norris Hall, where most of the murders occurred, wasn't practical: It would have been a costly endeavor, and the building houses several high-tech labs and faculty offices, primarily for the university's department of engineering science and mechanics, one of the school's largest programs.

Of the 254 counties in Texas, Travis was one of only two with a white majority that voted for John Kerry in the 2004 election. Its mix of college students, high-tech entrepreneurs clustered around Dell headquarters, and connoisseurs of a hot art scene makes this fertile territory for Obama's staple crops, namely the young and the wealthy...
