Maybe. But in dozens of interviews in seven states last week, TIME found that while many students are discussing the draft, few say they will decide their vote on the issue. "The draft is just being used as a tool by Democrats to get Bush," says Kirsten Steffey, a senior at Drake University in Iowa who plans to vote for Kerry. "It's just a distraction from issues I'm more concerned about." Hope as Democrats might, an Election Day boost for Kerry remains, like the draft itself, merely hypothetical. --By John Cloud.

...lawyers explained, because Oregon gives counties authority over those permits. And of the five Multnomah County commissioners, four had been B.R.O. allies over the years--women who had supported a B.R.O. anti-discrimination ordinance, come to B.R.O. galas and luncheons and, in the case of commissioner Maria Rojo de Steffey, accepted a B.R.O. civil rights award. When Thorpe and her lobbyist Maura Roche arrived at the county building on Jan. 27 for their first meetings on marriage--meetings so secret that Thorpe and Roche hadn't even told the commissioners why they were coming--the first two commissioners with whom...
Quietly, Thorpe and her county allies--commissioners Rojo de Steffey, Serena Cruz, Lisa Naito and chair Diane Linn, along with a trusted staff member from each office--began discussing marriage. Whenever the commissioners came to meetings on the issue, they were careful to show up alone or in pairs to avoid triggering a state public-meetings law that applies when a quorum of elected officials (in this case, three of five) gather to discuss government affairs.

...Democratic Party is also livid. Because the county lost control of the timetable, opponents did indeed have time to file for upcoming races. Attorney General Myers and two of the Multnomah commissioners, Rojo de Steffey and Naito, are now embroiled in contested races. So is Supreme Court Justice Rives Kistler, the only openly gay high-court judge in the U.S., who was unopposed before March 3. "The process was so dumbed up that it has been a distraction," says Democratic pollster Lisa Grove. "In the end, I'm not sure whose side it helps...
...year-old Odorizzi, this was the last straw. Last week he quit and went off to his Wisconsin mink farm. A day later, Vice President Arthur Romer, after 32 years at Ward's, also quit. Then Avery got the resignation of Vice President Albert O. Steffey, retail store boss who had been with Ward's for 21 years. Steffey went home and opened up the bottle of 1811 brandy he had been saving for the occasion. With their departure, Sewell Avery snapped: good riddance; all three had been part of the "very real conspiracy...
