Still, for residents like Dave and Micki Moray, it's not the same. Every day they'd come home from work - he as a manager and she as a nurse at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital - pick up the paper, take it to the back porch and read. Dave, 58, was a News paperboy. The couple sold and bought cars for themselves and their daughters through the classifieds. The Morays are employed, active, avowed news junkies and won't read a newspaper online, because it feels like work. "We're not against change. But just to have the rug pulled from...
...Then Moore got drunk - his slurring, staggering, prat-falling millionaire in 1981's "Arthur" was the part of Moore's career, and also the peak.

One by one, his home- schooled brothers followed suit. "Our kids were more or less the guinea pigs," says Micki Colfax, who along with husband David home schooled all four Colfax children from their home in Boonville, California (pop. 750). "Their going to Harvard validated what home schooling was all about...
...Colfaxes make compelling spokespeople for the movement they did so much to legitimize. "We feel every parent is qualified to teach," Micki says. "If it doesn't work, fine, go on to something else. Even within one family, the learning skills might be different, so one ((child)) might work at home, the other might work at school. But I think the more the government gets involved, the less freedom parents have...
