On her last visit, though, she did bring the box's contents back to Michigan because she wanted to show her daughter Kailey, 7, who's talking about being a writer, the stories she had written at age seven. "When Kailey read them," White relates, "she decided that at that...

At WLNS in Lansing, Mich., not even the daytime soaps or weekend football games offer a refuge from politics anymore. "I'm sick about all the commercials," complains Sandra Bierwagen, 64. That may be why the Republican Party in Michigan considered getting some votes for local candidates by offering viewers a little relief - a spot featuring a babbling brook and a soothing voice-over: "This 30-second interlude of peace was brought...
