...site even streamlines the mailing process, providing a comprehensive list of local newspapers, and their contact information, according to the zip code you input. Simply check a few boxes, fill in your contact info, and the website prints out a perfectly prepared personal letter with your very own name on it—written by a Bush-Cheney campaign staffer. All you have to do is print, put a stamp on the envelope and mail it off. Or, if you are obscenely lazy, the site will even e-mail the letter for you. The whole process takes literally seconds, cunningly...
...still ain't used to him," mutters Whiteside. "There's a difference of experience." Buxton has become a more active, though neurotic leader. Tonight he spends half an hour drawing up different seating arrangements in the three humvees.

While anchors and talking heads prayerfully whispered the word “Bronco” as if it might, repeated sufficiently often, summon the ghost of O.J. to inspire Michael to make a break for it, we saw the final nail...
...believe the real problems often instead lie with high schools in working-class communities, which should be doing more to encourage good students to think about and plan for college. As an alum from a “blue-collar-and-below” zip code, I well know the problems that plague many less affluent schools, many of which focus on ensuring students pass standardized tests and graduate from high school, with little attention paid to where they go afterwards. At my high school, for example, a counselor estimated that only about 20 percent of seniors each year...
