Last summer Joanna Eide, who lives in a town just south of Seattle, did what many Americans do the instant they turn 16: she got a driver's license. But if a bill before its legislature passes as expected, Washington will soon join the growing number of states that require "graduated licenses" for drivers who are not yet 18. Under the proposed law, Washington teens could get a learner's permit at 15 and could earn an intermediate driver's license at 16--both with lots of strings at- tached.

Senator Eide got interested in graduated driver's licenses last year, when she noticed an outbreak of traffic citations and accidents among Joanna's friends who were new drivers. Even Joanna, an honor student and a responsible kid, was ticketed within two weeks of getting her license. Joanna and her crowd are guilty of nothing more than youth and inexperience--but that can be a dangerous combination behind the wheel.

"If those 99 women live their lives as if they're going to develop cancer," she says...
...Omanses, for their part, trade for both flexibility and the unexpected rewards of the exchange system. Several years ago, they wanted to follow a planned visit to their grown children in Boston with a vacation in Vermont. They contacted a Colorado woman, Joanna Lyn Merriman, who had a second home in Vermont. The timing wasn't convenient for Merriman, who banked the swap and eventually transferred her "credit" to her best friend, whose husband was in the last stages of cancer. "They stayed 10 days," Jan Omans recalls, "and after he died, his wife wrote that her husband had wanted...
