Al Morgan won't pull his kids from Heritage, and he doesn't think metal detectors will keep determined murderers out. "It's like winning the lottery," Morgan says of the odds that your kid's school will be next.

...hasn't raised money for a candidate before, doesn't even give to the company's political-action committee; but since meeting Bradley nine months ago, he has been asking for and getting checks from friends--including Goldman chairman HENRY PAULSON, a Republican who's backing JOHN MCCAIN. J.P. Morgan managing director JACKSON TAI, a Republican who also avoided politics until getting to know Bradley, a former J.P. Morgan consultant, is helping raise tens of thousands of dollars...
