...dying and the sun burning out. Whenever I heard them, I would just plug my ears because I can't stand stuff like that." Dylan rarely read his work aloud, she says, but Eric "was very talkative. He was a really good writer. He would help me cheat sometimes, pass me answers in tests and stuff." Though she is African American, she never sensed the racism that spilled out against Isaiah Shoels during the massacre. Maybe that day they were role playing again...
...legislation, the boldest move by Republicans was to call for a "national dialogue" by religious and other leaders that would "inform the nation about modern culture and its impact on youth." Senate majority leader Trent Lott seemed intent on keeping his earlier vow that gun control legislation would never pass on his watch. He called the renewed push for gun control a typical "knee-jerk reaction" to the shootings and staved off for at least two weeks an effort to have a vote, in the hope that emotions will cool. The House, heavily mortgaged to the gun lobby, has scheduled...
Republicans are betting that this too will pass, that as with Jonesboro and Paducah, Pearl and Springfield, once the white coffins are in the ground and the cameras gone, the outrage will subside.

Another option is CYBER SNOOP, which creates a tamper-proof list of the sites your kids surf...
...this analysis. But people who know about these things pretty much agree that credit risk plays virtually no role in setting the jumbo premium, which typically runs .25 to .5 percentage point above nonjumbo loans. That premium is the result of financing advantages enjoyed by Fannie and Freddie, who pass along lower costs to nonjumbo borrowers. The problem with this stealth socialism is that it does not take hot markets into account. The breakpoint should be scrapped. Critics would argue that it's a subsidy for the rich. But Fannie's and Freddie's advantages should work for everyone...
