Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who, like his brother President George W. Bush, has made faith-based initiatives a staple of his conservative social policy, is such a big fan of the Lawtey program that he has already duplicated it at a new women's facility at Hillsborough Correctional Institution, near Tampa. But the approach has its detractors. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (A.C.L.U.) have warned that it may violate church-state separation. Governor Bush responds that Lawtey and Hillsborough use only private funding for their religious programs--and says they offer equitable access to 31 faiths, including Baptist...
Tribal travelers don't necessarily see kids as an obstacle to their adventures; the tribe simply expands. Jayme Simoes, 36, and his wife Laura, 34, are planning a 10-day trip next spring to the Azores with at least two and perhaps four other couples from their hometown of Hillsborough, N.H.

...remain—severely lacking. Exclusive contracts with soft drink companies provide school districts with urgently needed funding to pay for vital educational programs—programs that might otherwise be cut.

Until governments fund public education appropriately, schools should not be forced to give up such a significant source of financial support to satisfy the concerns of nutrition lobbyists...
Physicist Harris Goldberg wants to revolutionize the $1 billion tire-sealant business, but until that goal is realized, he will settle for tennis balls. InMat, Goldberg's seven-employee company in Hillsborough, N.J., regularly ships to Wilson Sporting Goods 55-gal. drums filled with an environmentally safe liquid containing 1-nm-thick sheets of clay. When the material coats the inside of a tennis ball, it traps air far more effectively than standard rubber alone and doubles the life of the ball. Wilson's Double Core, which made its debut more than a year ago, sells at a premium...
