...schools." All the same, when the House voted earlier this month to approve a Republican proposal for a $7 million voucher plan for Washington--a basket-case system where by some calculations 40% of the kids drop out before high school graduation--just one black member supported it, Oklahoma Republican J.C. Watts. The D.C. project, which offered up to $3,200 in tuition assistance apiece to 2,000 of the city's 78,000 public school students, had been approved earlier by the Senate.
