...surprise; few Americans had imagined that an election could be held hostage by such obvious mistakes. That these widespread errors and stunning displays of incompetence were repeated in Florida’s 2002 democratic gubernatorial primary—finally conceded on Tuesday evening by former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno after a week of recounts—is nothing less than mind-boggling. It’s one thing to fail to anticipate a problem; it is quite another to be aware of a flawed system and replace it with something that might even be worse...
Already we’ve seen that reform is gruelingly slow. In Florida last week, the Democratic primary election was so close that former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno still has not conceded the election, although final vote recounts are due today. In a near replay of 2000, Miami-Dade and Broward counties saw major problems in counting ballots, and the margin was only about 5,000 votes in 1.3 million. This happened after polls were kept open an additional two hours because of massive lines, and many polling places were inoperative or malfunctioning for part of the day. There...
...failed in 1959, the Dalai Lama fled to India. U.S. Florida Follies Nearly two years after Florida's hanging chads helped jinx the U.S. presidential election, the state's polling system was again at the center of controversy after technical problems marred a primary election. Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno refused to rule out a legal challenge to the results. Unofficial tallies showed that Reno, who wants to be the Democratic candidate to fight Florida's Republican Governor Jeb Bush in November, trailed newcomer Bill McBride by less than 1% of the vote. Following the 2000 fiasco, Florida spent...
Even for those whose college days predated hippie communes, like Janet Carroo, 75, and her housemate, Betty Koontz, 79, the shared-housing arrangement can be life transforming. When Carroo asked the Center of Concern in Park Ridge, Ill., for a housemate shortly after her husband died, she never expected to find a new best friend. Both women are widows living on fixed incomes, but they have created a rich and energetic life together--going to church, sharing meals, visiting the elderly as volunteers and traveling together to see their grown children in Florida and Arizona. "We've become like sisters...
...footnote, or, as Russ insists, an "editor's titnote": "* Work. ** Fucking.") His Berlin affair with German hottie Renate H?tte (later known, in Russ's "Mudhoney," as Rena Horton) is recalled as an evening of "succulent schlemmers and Gatling-gun Gesundheits!" Limning an energetic tryst with one Mrs. Janet Buxton, he apostrophizes: "Oh, what hath headboards and Hemingway wrought!" (I give up: what hath pine and Papa wrought?) And in a reverie on his double hernia, Meyer writes: "Cause: hunkeringly / horizontal / hyper-activity about / atop ?Castle on Mulholland's' slick-sick sheets (lacking tooth)." Translation into English - anyone? Anyone...
