...respond that the real reasons for opposition to his candidacy are political. ''He's a target of opportunity,'' says Patrick McGuigan of the right-leaning 721 Group.

In the Indiana senate, Manion co-sponsored legislation to permit public schools to post the Ten Commandments just two months after the Supreme Court had struck down a Kentucky law that required such posting. He sometimes appeared on a radio and TV show with his father Clarence, a former dean of the Notre Dame Law School and a leader...

Even the city's Animal and Care Control Agency can't move a red wing nest without a permit. Nevertheless, local and federal officials have advised citizens confronted head-on by a red wing to simply stare back into its eyes. Better yet, they advise, avoid known red wing territories altogether. But in a city that cherishes every rare minute of sunshine, it's unlikely many will stay away from...
