...some-odd channels the folks at the cable company pump into my house. What's more, lately I've been given to wondering how I was able to live so long without Sportscenter. Finally, and perhaps most embarrassingly, I seem to be becoming some kind of Jim Lehrer Newshour groupie...
...fingerpainting show, defenders of the grant-making agency are looking to the Senate and President Clinton to help keep their agency alive. Republican senator Slade Gorton, chair of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, has indicated a willingness to fund the agency with at least $99.5 million next year.

After a state court tossed out New Jersey's funding system, Governor Christine Whitman tried to fix the imbalance by tying new money to student performance on statewide tests--a bold approach, but one the courts have refused to accept. In April, Illinois Governor Jim Edgar spent leftover campaign funds on TV ads to build support for his solution--raising income taxes. But his own party killed the bill in committee. Having watched these stumbles, Voinovich is aiming at something more modest. Early this week, a task force he named to solve the problem...
