The latest .Florida polls have McCain and Romney essentially tied, with Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee also on the ballot. Several factors are certain to affect the outcome. The Florida primary, with its winner-take-all 57 delegates, is open only to Republican voters; McCain's other wins, in New Hatnpshire and South Carolina, were fueled in part by independents able to cast ballots in the GOP contest. .florida also has a property tax relief proposal on the ballot that could boost GOP turnout. State polls show Republicans favoring the measure by a nearly twothirds margin. And, of course, this is Florida, home to the disputed presi~e'ntial election of 2000 that gave George W. Bush the presidency by a mere 537 votes. The Justice Department said it would monitor the primary election in Broward County, the south Florida seat of Ft.

Either he commits to marriage or not BY KATHY MITCHEU AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: "Dennis" has been my boyfriend for over 10 years. We have Iived together and apart, and the reason for. the apart has been a conflict over marriage. I am 55 years old, he is 57, and we are both divorced . Over the years, I have brought up the subject of marriage three times and it has been the cause of a great debate each time, resulting in my moving out. We then get back together because we still care about each other. I recently told Dennis how important marriage is to me. I understand it's just a piece of paper, but to me, it makes us a team. Just living together gives me a sense of impermanence. I moved out after the last argument and Dennis has not called much. I am pretty sure he feels I am giving him an ultimatum, which I guess I am. Is there any happy medium for this sort of 'issue?- Resentful · Dear Resentful: Not · really. Either you're married or you're not. Based on prior experience, Dennis believes you will come back even if he doesn't agree to marry you. So decide whether you want Dennis or that piece of paper, because it doesn't look as if you are going to have both. , . Dear Annie: I am 14 years old and in the eighth grade, and I LOVE baseball.

The 15,000-square-foot "Bodies ... The Exhibition," opening Friday at the Cincinnati Museum Center, features 20 human cadavers, preserved by a process called polymer preservation and shown in various poses. In a statement released Monday, the Rev. Daniel Pilarczyk said the church maintains that dead bodies must be treated "in a way that recognizes the dignity of the human person." "Within this framework, the use of bodies for scientific research and educational purposes has long been viewed as permissible provided that the consent of the deceased or the deceasc;d's family has been obtained," the statement said. "The public exhibition of pla~ticized bodies, · unclaimed, unreverenced, and unidentified, is a: different matter entirely.' It is unseemly and inappropriate." The exhibit's goal is to show the inner workings of the human body, according to Premier Exliibitions Inc. The exhibit also includes about 250 preserved bpdy parts so that viewers can see the organs that keep the body breathing, digesting, reproducing, thinking and living. The exhibit, one of several similar ones the Atlanta company debuted in the United States in 20Q4, has drawn protesters in other cities. They say Chinese citizens whose. cadavers or body parts are used never agreed to let their remains be displayed. Premier has said that the specimens are unclaimed or unidentified bodies from a medical school laboratory in China and that the bodies were obtained legally.

Having researched and written about it for more than 50 years, I can attest that the most compeUingreadableaccountofits tumultuous and often imperiled history is the newly published "Freedom ·for the Thought That We Hate: A Biography of the First Amendment" by Anthony Lewis (Basic Books). Part of the title comes from Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' warning of the most powerful need of the First AmeJK1ment, especially in times of national danger and epidemics of speech-suppressing political correctness: "If there is any principle of the Constitution ihat more imperatively calls for ,attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thought not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate." [ commend the title and the Lewis book to Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., wbo is still trying to get his expanded "hate . speech" legislation to become law. It adds extra prison time not for the actual conviction of violent acts but for the "hateful" speech accompanying them a~ interpreted by police and prosecutors. .

For many years, Anthony Lewis, twictl! a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, was a nonpareil reporter and analyst of the continuous First Amendment wars in his New York Time~ column.

There are 158,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, a number that is expected to drop to 135,000 by July. There are 28,000 in Afghanistan, the highest number of the war, which began there in October 200 I. The Iraq war began in March 2003. Bush did not announce any troop withdrawals Monday night The White House said that would depend on the advice of Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Baghdad. Congress, despite repeated attempts, has been unable to force troop withdrawals or deadlines for pullbacks, and Iraq has re~­ ed as an issue in Washington. Reviving a theme from his trip to the Mideast this month, Bush called on Iran to suspend uranium enrichment that the White House says could easily be transferred to a nuclear weapons program.

Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 30, the installation of a 60-inch concrete pi~e .beneath the highway wtll require the reduction of traffic flow to one lane. The area affected is just south of the Little Muskingum Bridge entering Reno.

Bi-directional motorists will use the northbound laue on Wednesday and the southbound lane . on· Thursday, weather permitting. Traffic will shift throughout the day as. needed. ODOT officials advise area motorists to exercise extreme caution when traveling through this area. "We understand the impact this project has in the short-term for motorists and businesses, but we ask for public cooperation in maintaining safety within . the work zone," said District 10 Deputy Director Larry Woodford. "The project as a whole is very important to the future of the region, but our first concern is protecting work crews and motorists while construction is under way." The State Route 7 widening project began in fall 2007. It includes widening the existing highway to increase traffic capacity and ·implementing access managemel)t techniques to reduce congestion and improve safety.

Although It was another physical game between the two rivals, the Lady Falcons had little trouble in jumping out to a quick lead and holding that advantage for a 47-27 victory Monday night in Ashton. Wahama used runs of 6-0 and 8-0 in the first quarter to open up a 14-3 lead and continued that trend in the second frame to take a 2410 lead at the half. That lead was put together by a trio of players who had littie trouble weaving through. traffic and putting up ea'Sy baskets. Amber Tully, Kay anna Sayre and Taylor Hysell had all 24 points In the first balf and finished with all but four of the team's total output. ' The L,ady Falcons put together another early run to start the second half to open up a 31 -10 lead before a scary incident stopped play for several minutes. Hannan 's Amanda Little and Wahama's Sayre were both going for a loose ball when they collided head first. Although both got 1,1p, the damage was clear as blood po,ured from the right eye of Little. · After Little was bandaged and the mess was cleaned up play resumed with 3: II left in the third frame and Hannan responded as they finished the quarter oq a 63 run to close the gap to 34-; 16. Although the Falcon lead was pretty much intact, the Hannan surge forced Wahama to put its starters .back in the lineup in the fourth quarter and the visitors responded with another strong push of 13 points while holding off Hannan's best effort of the evening with II . points to cap the 20-point victory. T'ully led .the Wahama attack with 16 points, while Hysell finished with 14 points and Sayre had 13 markers .

The agreement means the Reds are likely to move their spring training· base to Arizona . as soon as 2010, when they would share a complex with the Cleveilind Indians. With the exception of a few years during World War II, the Reds have trained in Florida since l 923. They moved from Plant City tQ Sarasota in 1998, and last year ollered to stay longterm if the county would upgrade the facilities. ' Voters turned down a tax issue to fund the project last November. and with their preferred option ruled out, the Reds began serious nego1iations with Goodyear, located west of Phoenix. "We -were getting nowhere fast in Sarasota, and we linally hit a wall," said John Allen, the team's former chief operating offi cer. "Economically, the situation there wasn't favorable. We were very open and honest with Sarasota throughout the entire process. It was very disappointing ."

Brady practices in Patriots' first Super Bowl session BY BARRY .WILNER ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX Tom Brady was back where he , belongs Monday, behind center for the New England Patriots ' first practice session of Super Bowl week. NFL's Most· The Valuable Player missed three practices last · week with a tender right ankle, which was taped for Mpnday's training at Arizona State in nearby Tempe.
