Goliey Publl'sher Page AS KILPATRICK'S VIEW High-court decision contained nothing chaotic , Now the dust settles, as dust generally does, and the dust has provoked a national sneeze. Down with the high court! Up with reform! The New Republic is having conniptions. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is again the dotty professor. What is to be said of the recent chaos? It wasn't chaos. The Supreme Court was damaged but the court was not disgraced. The electoral machinery sputtered, but finally it performed. Our constitutional house is not falling. In this hectic period many things were said that should have been 'slept on. Justice John , Paul Stevens ended his dissent pf Dec. 12 with a rhetorical flou.rish, He said: "Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law." This was rhetorical hokum. Who was the winner? Read the papers. Watch the inaugural parade. Justice Steven Breyer contributed nothing of value in his separate dissent. He felt compelled to say that "the appearance of a split decision runs the risk of undermining the public's confidence in the court itself." Justice Breyer wanted the world to know that Justice Breyet perceived the risk of "a self-inflicted wound - a wound that may harm not just the court, but the nation ." So saith Justice Breyer. Justice David Souter was equally certain of profound uncertainties, Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, all is v:anity. Professor JeffTey Rosen, writing in The New Republic, cast aside every trace of sober reflection or thoughtful restraint. The court's five conservatives, he cried, " played us all for . dupes once more." He Josi control. These four James Kilpatrick UPS COLUMNIST vain men and one vain woman, he said, "have made it impossible for citizens of the United States to sustain any kind of faith in the rule oflaw as something larger than the self-interested political preferences ofWilliam Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor." Impossible? Did the court's opinion truly make it "impossible" for citizens to sustain "any kind offaith" in the rule of law' Professor Rosen is very young. When I was his age I was denouncing the high court for its usurpation of power in the school desegregaton cases. There is something to be said for growing old. . Professor Schlesinger has not outgrown his youthful excesses . Writing in The New York Times, he noted that the election of Nov. 7 marked the fourth time the winner of the popular vote had been denied the presidency. ''This puts the republic in an intolerable predicament. It is intolerable because it is undemocratic." "' Intolerable? The old professor knows better. For 200 years this republic has been tolerating undemocratic government. The U.S. Senate is about as undemocratic as a legislative body could be. The Electoral College is a paradigm of undem ocracy. We see m to like it that way. ' I would leave it that way. l:lu t before the bi g sneeze subsides, a few steps toward unifQrmity could usefully be taken. Congre ss sho uld fund a program to test and eve ntuall y to install voting machines that would perform accurately in every precinct. The h1gh court's majoriry found a clear deni;il of equal protection in Florida's subjective standards for a recount, How deep the dimple; how hangs the c had? We can do better. The first principle of o ur co nstitutional union is to thi s effect: Everything we do politically, we do through the states. Without di sturbing that prin ciple, Article II sensibly could be amended. We ought to go to the distri ct system of awarding each state's electoral vote - two votes for the statew1d e winn~r, plus one vote for each H ouse district he carri es. We sho uld make it impossibl e for renegade electors to defy the voters' will. lri the eve nt of a tie vote in some future Electoral Colleg~. the ne should be broken by majority Vote in the Congress as a whole, and not by a majority of state delegations in the House. Such mod est proposals probably would attract support from three- fourths of tlie states. There is no realistic prospect for an amendment providing for direct national election . Flltget it. Whatever is to be done to the electoral system, it had better be launched right away, before the country gets over the snif!Jes.

Goliey Publl'sher Page AS KILPATRICK'S VIEW High-court decision contained nothing chaotic , Now the dust settles, as dust generally does, and the dust has provoked a national sneeze. Down with the high court! Up with reform! The New Republic is having conniptions. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is again the dotty professor. What is to be said of the recent chaos? It wasn't chaos. The Supreme Court was damaged but the court was not disgraced. The electoral machinery sputtered, but finally it performed. Our constitutional house is not falling. In this hectic period many things were said that should have been 'slept on. Justice John , Paul Stevens ended his dissent pf Dec. 12 with a rhetorical flou.rish, He said: "Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law." This was rhetorical hokum. Who was the winner? Read the papers. Watch the inaugural parade. Justice Steven Breyer contributed nothing of value in his separate dissent. He felt compelled to say that "the appearance of a split decision runs the risk of undermining the public's confidence in the court itself." Justice Breyer wanted the world to know that Justice Breyet perceived the risk of "a self-inflicted wound - a wound that may harm not just the court, but the nation ." So saith Justice Breyer. Justice David Souter was equally certain of profound uncertainties, Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, all is v:anity. Professor JeffTey Rosen, writing in The New Republic, cast aside every trace of sober reflection or thoughtful restraint. The court's five conservatives, he cried, " played us all for . dupes once more." He Josi control. These four James Kilpatrick UPS COLUMNIST vain men and one vain woman, he said, "have made it impossible for citizens of the United States to sustain any kind of faith in the rule oflaw as something larger than the self-interested political preferences ofWilliam Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor." Impossible? Did the court's opinion truly make it "impossible" for citizens to sustain "any kind offaith" in the rule of law' Professor Rosen is very young. When I was his age I was denouncing the high court for its usurpation of power in the school desegregaton cases. There is something to be said for growing old. . Professor Schlesinger has not outgrown his youthful excesses . Writing in The New York Times, he noted that the election of Nov. 7 marked the fourth time the winner of the popular vote had been denied the presidency. ''This puts the republic in an intolerable predicament. It is intolerable because it is undemocratic." "' Intolerable? The old professor knows better. For 200 years this republic has been tolerating undemocratic government. The U.S. Senate is about as undemocratic as a legislative body could be. The Electoral College is a paradigm of undem ocracy. We see m to like it that way. ' I would leave it that way. l:lu t before the bi g sneeze subsides, a few steps toward unifQrmity could usefully be taken. Congre ss sho uld fund a program to test and eve ntuall y to install voting machines that would perform accurately in every precinct. The h1gh court's majoriry found a clear deni;il of equal protection in Florida's subjective standards for a recount, How deep the dimple; how hangs the c had? We can do better. The first principle of o ur co nstitutional union is to thi s effect: Everything we do politically, we do through the states. Without di sturbing that prin ciple, Article II sensibly could be amended. We ought to go to the distri ct system of awarding each state's electoral vote - two votes for the statew1d e winn~r, plus one vote for each H ouse district he carri es. We sho uld make it impossibl e for renegade electors to defy the voters' will. lri the eve nt of a tie vote in some future Electoral Colleg~. the ne should be broken by majority Vote in the Congress as a whole, and not by a majority of state delegations in the House. Such mod est proposals probably would attract support from three- fourths of tlie states. There is no realistic prospect for an amendment providing for direct national election . Flltget it. Whatever is to be done to the electoral system, it had better be launched right away, before the country gets over the snif!Jes.

"Thcv're cutting llUt h.rlt' the hillside to put in this nding ring ... the structure is COlllpletdy ;lli~.:n to tht' area ." The planned 27,000-squarc-foot buildin~ would be about six t1mes the size of a typical home in the tony hut low- key 13rcmwood neighborhood. Estimates on the project's cost haw exc,·edt·d $7 mill inn, on top of the $5.75 million Sptelberg spent to buy the land tor the buildmg. Spielberg is planning the iacilit:y - complete with a domed, retractable roo( subterranean stables and a spectator platform - for his wife, actress and horse lover Kate Capshaw. The couple lives in another neighborhood near Brentwood, and apparenrly has no plans !O reside on the 2.8-acrc site where the construction is platmed. Neighbors say they'll fight the proposal, which would require six zoning variances, unless tt's drainatically scaled back . The city of Los Angeles is scheduled to consider the requested vari.anccs at a Jan. 4 zoning administration hearing. Spielberg can appeal any decision to an area planning conunis.10n and the City Council. "Are we going to be able to please everyone' No;· said Andy Spalm of Spielberg's DreamWorks SKG entertainment con1pany. "But we'll come a long way toward easing peoples' concerns." Spielberg's credits include "Saving Private Ryan," "Schindler's List," and "Jaws." Llst year, Capshaw produced and starred in "The Love Letter." Murder-suicide investigated RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) -A man who was being treated for mental problems fatally shot his wife and the>r young daughter on Christmas Day, then killed himsel( authorities said. Catoosa Counry Sheriff Phil Sununers said Randy Young and his wife, Nicole Young, were in the process of divorcing. , Randy Young, 31, had arrived earlier in the day to pick up his 14month-old daughter, Haley. for visitation. He took her, but later rerurned after she became ill, Sununers said. The couple apparencly got into an argument, and Nicole Young was trying to run to a neighbor's home with Haley when the mother and daughter were shor, he said. Young then shot himself, Summers said. The neighbor heard the gunshots and found the bodies in his yard . Authorities said they were at the Youngs' home two months ago when Randy Young held his family hostage during a domestic dispute. Police subdued him after more than five hours and he was charged h1m wtth nusdcmcanor assau lt and placed uudcr a rcstrammg order. He was allowed to visit his daughter. Authorities sa1dYoung was on n1edication and was being rrcarrd for mental problems, including depression. They don't know how he got the guns.

(AP)- Four years after JonBenet R>msey was found beaten and strangled, another district attorney is about to t>ke over and is expected to take a fresh look at the unsolved case. Mary Keenan, 50, who has worked on the JonBenet slaying as chief deputy district attorney, will be sworn in as Boulder County district attorney on Jan. 9, succeeding Alex Hunter, who was criticized for not filing charges in the slaying of the 6-year-old beauty queen. Hunter did not seek re-election. Police and JonBenet's parents said they hope Keenan will tmprove conm1unication between police and prosecutors, whose relationship has been strained over the case. Jonllenet was found slain on Dec. 26, 1996, in ' her family's home. Police have said John and Patsy Ramsey remain under suspicion. A grand jury investigated for 13 months without indicting anyone.

"She has a reputation that I think is deserved for being tough and, I also fed, thoughtful in her handling of sex assault cases.

Lin Wood, the Ramseys' lawyer, said ne wants Keerun to "move this case forward ." He added: "I hope she is also a cour:ogeous prosecutor and can resist •ny pressure from the Boulder Police Department to file charges against my clients." . Wood said the only way to solve the case is to bring in new investigators, perhaps an independent panel of experts, or hand the case over to the Boulder County Shtriff's Office. Police Chief Mark Beckner said he is looking forward to working with Keenan to improve relations between police and prosecutors: u Anything that increases conununication between th'e agencies is a positive."

Ice, sleet, snow make winter nightmare of the Plains >\ OKLAHOMA C ITY (AI') - Dreams of a white Chrismras turned into a winter nightmare in Oklahoma as an icc storm mad e roads throughout the state treacherou s for holiday drivers . The rest of the' sout hern Plains fare d little better, with sle et and freezing rain pummeling Texas and Arkansas for the second tinte in as many weeks, ca using scores of accidents and thousands of power outages. The National Weather Service said th e worst may lie ahead, issuing ice and winter storm warnings for Tuesday with high te1;1peratures in the mid 30$. "It could be a major ice storm before this thing is over Tuesday night or Wednesday," said forecaster Scott Curl. Early in the day, Oklahoma authorities reported a rash of accidents w.ith the ftrst sign of sleet and snow. In Nowata County, 50 miles north ofTulsa, a 13-year-old boy was killed when he lost control of his gocart and hit a pickup truck at a snowy intersection. Two adults • 2000 also died in a wreck on a frozen stretch of Interstate 35 in Payne County, 35 mil es north of Oklahoma City. The stortn caused several flight cancellations in Oklahoma City, and in Tulsa, crews scrambled to apply large amounts of sand and salt to slick roads, said Dan Crossland, the city's st.r ect maintenance manager. Snapped power lines put 13,000 Oklahomans in the dark, according to Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. Texas and Arkansas residents shared a dim evening as well, with ice-laden tree limbs falling on power lines and interrupting electricity to more than 40,000 customers in lhe two states. "It sounds like the whole tree is falling," Brenda Herman said by phone from her home in Texarkana. "It's so scary." Texans were dealt varied weather early Tuesday, including light snow in Amarillo, where the National Weather Service 1 said 9 inches of snow could be on the ground by day's end. • • ... ' ,I .'

"Thcv're cutting llUt h.rlt' the hillside to put in this nding ring ... the structure is COlllpletdy ;lli~.:n to tht' area ." The planned 27,000-squarc-foot buildin~ would be about six t1mes the size of a typical home in the tony hut low- key 13rcmwood neighborhood. Estimates on the project's cost haw exc,·edt·d $7 mill inn, on top of the $5.75 million Sptelberg spent to buy the land tor the buildmg. Spielberg is planning the iacilit:y - complete with a domed, retractable roo( subterranean stables and a spectator platform - for his wife, actress and horse lover Kate Capshaw. The couple lives in another neighborhood near Brentwood, and apparenrly has no plans !O reside on the 2.8-acrc site where the construction is platmed. Neighbors say they'll fight the proposal, which would require six zoning variances, unless tt's drainatically scaled back . The city of Los Angeles is scheduled to consider the requested vari.anccs at a Jan. 4 zoning administration hearing. Spielberg can appeal any decision to an area planning conunis.10n and the City Council. "Are we going to be able to please everyone' No;· said Andy Spalm of Spielberg's DreamWorks SKG entertainment con1pany. "But we'll come a long way toward easing peoples' concerns."

He took her, but later rerurned after she became ill, Sununers said. The couple apparencly got into an argument, and Nicole Young was trying to run to a neighbor's home with Haley when the mother and daughter were shor, he said. Young then shot himself, Summers said. The neighbor heard the gunshots and found the bodies in his yard . Authorities said they were at the Youngs' home two months ago when Randy Young held his family hostage during a domestic dispute.

(AP)- Four years after JonBenet R>msey was found beaten and strangled, another district attorney is about to t>ke over and is expected to take a fresh look at the unsolved case. Mary Keenan, 50, who has worked on the JonBenet slaying as chief deputy district attorney, will be sworn in as Boulder County district attorney on Jan. 9, succeeding Alex Hunter, who was criticized for not filing charges in the slaying of the 6-year-old beauty queen. Hunter did not seek re-election. Police and JonBenet's parents said they hope Keenan will tmprove conm1unication between police and prosecutors, whose relationship has been strained over the case. Jonllenet was found slain on Dec. 26, 1996, in ' her family's home. Police have said John and Patsy Ramsey remain under suspicion. A grand jury investigated for 13 months without indicting anyone.

"She has a reputation that I think is deserved for being tough and, I also fed, thoughtful in her handling of sex assault cases. It is a very difficult area and one of the tributes I think she deserves has been a willingness to tackle tough cases;' Hunter said. L. Lin Wood, the Ramseys' lawyer, said ne wants Keerun to "move this case forward ." He added: "I hope she is also a cour:ogeous prosecutor and can resist •ny pressure from the Boulder Police Department to file charges against my clients." . Wood said the only way to solve the case is to bring in new investigators, perhaps an independent panel of experts, or hand the case over to the Boulder County Shtriff's Office. Police Chief Mark Beckner said he is looking forward to working with Keenan to improve relations between police and prosecutors: u Anything that increases conununication between th'e agencies is a positive."

Ice, sleet, snow make winter nightmare of the Plains >\ OKLAHOMA C ITY (AI') - Dreams of a white Chrismras turned into a winter nightmare in Oklahoma as an icc storm mad e roads throughout the state treacherou s for holiday drivers . The rest of the' sout hern Plains fare d little better, with sle et and freezing rain pummeling Texas and Arkansas for the second tinte in as many weeks, ca using scores of accidents and thousands of power outages. The National Weather Service said th e worst may lie ahead, issuing ice and winter storm warnings for Tuesday with high te1;1peratures in the mid 30$. "It could be a major ice storm before this thing is over Tuesday night or Wednesday," said forecaster Scott Curl. Early in the day, Oklahoma authorities reported a rash of accidents w.ith the ftrst sign of sleet and snow. In Nowata County, 50 miles north ofTulsa, a 13-year-old boy was killed when he lost control of his gocart and hit a pickup truck at a snowy intersection. Two adults • 2000 also died in a wreck on a frozen stretch of Interstate 35 in Payne County, 35 mil es north of Oklahoma City. The stortn caused several flight cancellations in Oklahoma City, and in Tulsa, crews scrambled to apply large amounts of sand and salt to slick roads, said Dan Crossland, the city's st.r ect maintenance manager. Snapped power lines put 13,000 Oklahomans in the dark, according to Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. Texas and Arkansas residents shared a dim evening as well, with ice-laden tree limbs falling on power lines and interrupting electricity to more than 40,000 customers in lhe two states. "It sounds like the whole tree is falling," Brenda Herman said by phone from her home in Texarkana. "It's so scary." Texans were dealt varied weather early Tuesday, including light snow in Amarillo, where the National Weather Service 1 said 9 inches of snow could be on the ground by day's end. • • ... ' ,I .'

Bush hves in a nry that calls itself the "Live Music Capital of the World," where Mexican food remurants abound and the breakfa.,t tam i< a d11ly staple. 13ut one spot where Bush was known to dine in Ausnn was the upscale Shoreline Grill, located next to the Four Seasons Hotel on the banks · of the Colorado Rtver. There, he could sup on semolina' crusted oysrer<; and wild mushroom ravioh and top ofT wah praline cheesecake for dessert - a meal fit for any pres1dem. His second gubernatorial inauguration in 1999 was a mix of the two Bush worlds. At the outdoor party immediately after his swearing in, Bush hosted a casual picnic and served barbecue - lots of lt. On the menu were 850 beef briskets, 2,000 pounds of sau$age, 2,00o' pounds of turkey breast, 1,000 pounds of ham and 150 gallons of barbecue sauce. The late-mght party was more regal. The crowd got to nibble on crab cakes at an indoor soiree decorated with white columns adorned in silky red drapes. Tables were covered with gold lame cloths and glass vases with red roses. So which Bush shows up fi"t in Wa.<hingron? The fun-loving Texan who once dreamed of being like Wilhe Mays, or the well-heeled son of a former president? Given the vote-counting controversy that surrounded his presidential race against Al Gore - and the fact he didn't win the popular vote - some analysts behcve Bush would be wise to avoid walking into the White House with a Texas-sized atntude. "I think it's gomg to be courteous and deferential at fir<;t," said Bruce Buchanan, a Univemty ofTexas presidential scholar and Bush watcher. "At least it had better be." Buchanan added: "I don't think there's going to be any kind of redecorating in Southwestern style." JUAN.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The price of adutission to the House incre:~.~ingly exceeds SI million wah the number of candidates raising seven figures in 2000 abnost doubling (Tom the last time Americans picked a president. At least 194 House candidates reported raising more than $ 1 million in 2000, up from I 08 in 1996, a review of Federal Elecnon Comnlission records shows. More than one-third of the 435 congresSional races last month 151 in all - featured at least one candidate with at least $ 1 million to spend. The number of H ouse candidates raising at least $2 million increased even more dramatically, from eight in 1996 to I I in 1998 to 34 in 2000. "We are further raising the threshold for how much money it will take to run a viable congressiOnal campa~gn," md Anthony Corrado, a professor of government at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. "We are reducing the pool of candidates w ho are willing to run in these elections, and anyone looking at a r.~ce in the furure is going to have to plan to spend much more time raising money than candidates did even two or three elections ago," Cor rado said T his year has seen the most expensive House race in history, the $ 11.1 million raised to fund the contest between incumbent Repubhcan Rep. Jim Rogan of California and hi s Democratic challenger, state Sen. Adam Schiff. · Rogan raised $6.8 million, but lost to Schiff, who raised $4.3 million. Rogan wasn't even the champio n fund-raise r. In West Virginia, Dcn1ocratic nominee Jim Humphreys raised $7 m1llion most of it from his own pocket but lost to· Republican Shelley Moore Capito, who took in $1.4 milhon. Carolyn Machado, who raises funds for Republican congressionc al candidates, says her cbems were forced to get more money to answer advertisements by political parties and outside interest groups. As a result, her candidates were raising money until rhe final days of the campa1bm. "We had to respond to a lot of the negative advertising that was out there," Machado said. "That really caused us .to take our budgets, put them aside, and formula te some new numbers 'and some new media plans. Had they stuck to their original budget numbers, I'm not so sure they would have won." Bush's inauguration expected to be hottest ticket on the Beltway WASHiNGTON (AP) For the 1\C:'\.l mnnth.

What the mdusrry is now preparing for, he said, IS the onslaught of aging baby boomers who arc nearing retirement age. In 1999, the median house hold income for someone age 55 to tl4 was $44,597, Census Bureau data >haws. That was up from $44,120 in 1998,and $41,407 in 1989, with each of tho'e figure< adjusted for inflation. The M Isms Ipp1 Development Authority says the typical retiree it [rte<; to recrui[ has a mcdtan fa1nily income of about $33,000, but about $320,000 in hqmd assets. The buying power of one retiree household moving ·Ill from another state is the econnm1c eqt11valenr to 3.7 factory jobs, said Lauren Upchurch of the Mmissipp1 Jgency.

Mark Fagan, sociology professor at Jacksonville State University, estimated that the country's roughly 68 million people age 50 and over have a combined annual income of $900 billion In 1998, Florida renrees spent S37 b1llion, he said. Some states like North Carolina, California and Nevada are already well established retirement destinations. Mississippi began its statewide program five years ago, while West Virginia and Kentucky started this past year. For West V~rgima, that essentially means that one of the oldest state populations in the nation could get even older. According to Census 13ureau figures, the median age of the state's res1dcnts is nearly 39, oldest in the country.

COLUMBUS, Ohm (AP) - What's the expiration date on a loss to Michigan? Once agam, another group 'of Ohio State players must find out.

Once we do play again, it should be erased by everybody,'' quarterback Steve Bellisari said. "But it's really hard to say. It's a personal thing, how people deal wah It." Some have already forgotten the loss, and that the Buckeyes could have clinched a share of the 13Ig Ten title had they won. Linebacker Joe Cooper was asked how long it took to get over the bitter loss on Nov. 18. "Really, you get over it ati:er the game," he said. "We can't do anythin~ about it, we can't turn the time back. You get over it real fast. It was another game we lost, you look at it like that." It was a lost opportunity for senior cornerback David MitcheU. "You can't ever get it. back," Mitchell said. "I'll never get to play them again. For an underclassman, they can redeem them self. Now I just have to look forward to this (bowl) game and to the future." Coach John Cooper said way too much is made of the long-term unphcations of a loss to Michigan. He has some experience in this area; his record againsrde Wolvermes is 2-1 0-1. "I don't think there's any lasting effect. Quite the co ntrary," Cooper said.

Bush hves in a nry that calls itself the "Live Music Capital of the World," where Mexican food remurants abound and the breakfa.,t tam i< a d11ly staple. 13ut one spot where Bush was known to dine in Ausnn was the upscale Shoreline Grill, located next to the Four Seasons Hotel on the banks · of the Colorado Rtver. There, he could sup on semolina' crusted oysrer<; and wild mushroom ravioh and top ofT wah praline cheesecake for dessert - a meal fit for any pres1dem. His second gubernatorial inauguration in 1999 was a mix of the two Bush worlds. At the outdoor party immediately after his swearing in, Bush hosted a casual picnic and served barbecue - lots of lt. On the menu were 850 beef briskets, 2,000 pounds of sau$age, 2,00o' pounds of turkey breast, 1,000 pounds of ham and 150 gallons of barbecue sauce. The late-mght party was more regal. The crowd got to nibble on crab cakes at an indoor soiree decorated with white columns adorned in silky red drapes. Tables were covered with gold lame cloths and glass vases with red roses. So which Bush shows up fi"t in Wa.<hingron? The fun-loving Texan who once dreamed of being like Wilhe Mays, or the well-heeled son of a former president? Given the vote-counting controversy that surrounded his presidential race against Al Gore - and the fact he didn't win the popular vote - some analysts behcve Bush would be wise to avoid walking into the White House with a Texas-sized atntude. "I think it's gomg to be courteous and deferential at fir<;t," said Bruce Buchanan, a Univemty ofTexas presidential scholar and Bush watcher. "At least it had better be." Buchanan added: "I don't think there's going to be any kind of redecorating in Southwestern style." JUAN.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The price of adutission to the House incre:~.~ingly exceeds SI million wah the number of candidates raising seven figures in 2000 abnost doubling (Tom the last time Americans picked a president. At least 194 House candidates reported raising more than $ 1 million in 2000, up from I 08 in 1996, a review of Federal Elecnon Comnlission records shows. More than one-third of the 435 congresSional races last month 151 in all - featured at least one candidate with at least $ 1 million to spend. The number of H ouse candidates raising at least $2 million increased even more dramatically, from eight in 1996 to I I in 1998 to 34 in 2000. "We are further raising the threshold for how much money it will take to run a viable congressiOnal campa~gn," md Anthony Corrado, a professor of government at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. "We are reducing the pool of candidates w ho are willing to run in these elections, and anyone looking at a r.~ce in the furure is going to have to plan to spend much more time raising money than candidates did even two or three elections ago," Cor rado said T his year has seen the most expensive House race in history, the $ 11.1 million raised to fund the contest between incumbent Repubhcan Rep. Jim Rogan of California and hi s Democratic challenger, state Sen. Adam Schiff. · Rogan raised $6.8 million, but lost to Schiff, who raised $4.3 million. Rogan wasn't even the champio n fund-raise r. In West Virginia, Dcn1ocratic nominee Jim Humphreys raised $7 m1llion most of it from his own pocket but lost to· Republican Shelley Moore Capito, who took in $1.4 milhon. Carolyn Machado, who raises funds for Republican congressionc al candidates, says her cbems were forced to get more money to answer advertisements by political parties and outside interest groups. As a result, her candidates were raising money until rhe final days of the campa1bm. "We had to respond to a lot of the negative advertising that was out there," Machado said. "That really caused us .to take our budgets, put them aside, and formula te some new numbers 'and some new media plans. Had they stuck to their original budget numbers, I'm not so sure they would have won." Bush's inauguration expected to be hottest ticket on the Beltway WASHiNGTON (AP) For the 1\C:'\.l mnnth.

What the mdusrry is now preparing for, he said, IS the onslaught of aging baby boomers who arc nearing retirement age. In 1999, the median house hold income for someone age 55 to tl4 was $44,597, Census Bureau data >haws. That was up from $44,120 in 1998,and $41,407 in 1989, with each of tho'e figure< adjusted for inflation. The M Isms Ipp1 Development Authority says the typical retiree it [rte<; to recrui[ has a mcdtan fa1nily income of about $33,000, but about $320,000 in hqmd assets. The buying power of one retiree household moving ·Ill from another state is the econnm1c eqt11valenr to 3.7 factory jobs, said Lauren Upchurch of the Mmissipp1 Jgency.

Mark Fagan, sociology professor at Jacksonville State University, estimated that the country's roughly 68 million people age 50 and over have a combined annual income of $900 billion In 1998, Florida renrees spent S37 b1llion, he said. Some states like North Carolina, California and Nevada are already well established retirement destinations. Mississippi began its statewide program five years ago, while West Virginia and Kentucky started this past year. For West V~rgima, that essentially means that one of the oldest state populations in the nation could get even older. According to Census 13ureau figures, the median age of the state's res1dcnts is nearly 39, oldest in the country.

COLUMBUS, Ohm (AP) - What's the expiration date on a loss to Michigan? Once agam, another group 'of Ohio State players must find out. At least the current Buckeyes have a bowl g~me on wh1ch to focm, playing South Carolina in the Outback Bowl Ill Tampa, Fla., on "New Year's Day.

The draft would take place annually after the World Series hut befi>re the end of the wmter mt·etmgs each December. er than others. "it's going to be different for each person. Once we do play again, it should be erased by everybody,'' quarterback Steve Bellisari said. "But it's really hard to say. It's a personal thing, how people deal wah It." Some have already forgotten the loss, and that the Buckeyes could have clinched a share of the 13Ig Ten title had they won. Linebacker Joe Cooper was asked how long it took to get over the bitter loss on Nov. 18. "Really, you get over it ati:er the game," he said. "We can't do anythin~ about it, we can't turn the time back. You get over it real fast. It was another game we lost, you look at it like that." It was a lost opportunity for senior cornerback David MitcheU. "You can't ever get it. back," Mitchell said. "I'll never get to play them again. For an underclassman, they can redeem them self. Now I just have to look forward to this (bowl) game and to the future." Coach John Cooper said way too much is made of the long-term unphcations of a loss to Michigan. He has some experience in this area; his record againsrde Wolvermes is 2-1 0-1. "I don't think there's any lasting effect. Quite the co ntrary," Cooper said.

Minnesota is I 0-17-6-2 for 28 points, last in the Western's Northwest Division. But both have ·had successes.

During the past two ·Motor City Bowls, Leftwich was on the sidelines watching quarierback Chad Pennington lead the Thundering Herd to victories over Louisville and Brigham Young.

Many nton: said Columbus, which had never had a team in one of the four major sports, wouldn't support a pro team after more than a century ofliving and dying with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Both have losing recotds and have battled to stay out the basement in their respective divisions. Yet both have been more than competitive. 1\t the Christmas break, Columbus is 11-20-3-2 for 27 points, last in the Western Conference's Central Division. Minnesota is I 0-17-6-2 for 28 points, last in the Western's Northwest Division. But both have ·had successes.

This the first day of Kwanzaa for African ·Americans, celebrating the fruit s of harvest. It is also Boxing Day in England, when it was traditional for lords of the manor to take gifts in boxes to their serfs. Have there ever been fisticuffs at the bridge table? Sadly, yes. Today, though, the slugfest is only with the cards, with each side trying to beat the other into submission. Who will win? In the auction, East doubled four spades with such relish that South was persuaded to run to five diamonds. · West led the heart king: ace, nine, three . Declarer drew 'trumps, then played the club jack. After winning with his ace, West cashed the heart queen and exited with a club. Declarer won with his queen, crossed to dummy with a spade to the ace, and discarded his spade losers on dummy 's top clubs to make his contract. Does anything strik e you? First, East was wrong to,double four spades. Never double the only contract you know you can beat. South needs three club tricks, but the suit is blocked. West did. very welllo win with his ace, but if he had counted South's tricks, he would have realized it was right to underlead his heart honors at trick six. East would win with hi s vital eight, then switch to the spade king, knocking out dummy's entry before the club jack could be cashed. This kills the contract. South can always get home by ducking trick one, but that is very dangerou s, given West's vulnera- ' ble four-hean opening, which will usually be on an eighl-bagger. • •·•• •• J'ly PHILLIP ALDER •'• • •• I '·I , North •• Slug it out rt'-"7----- • •' ' Weal IMCKWOOOIY Tt4t STONe.

Today, though, the slugfest is only with the cards, with each side trying to beat the other into submission. Who will win? In the auction, East doubled four spades with such relish that South was persuaded to run to five diamonds. · West led the heart king: ace, nine, three . Declarer drew 'trumps, then played the club jack. After winning with his ace, West cashed the heart queen and exited with a club. Declarer won with his queen, crossed to dummy with a spade to the ace, and discarded his spade losers on dummy 's top clubs to make his contract. Does anything strik e you? First, East was wrong to,double four spades. Never double the only contract you know you can beat. South needs three club tricks, but the suit is blocked. West did. very welllo win with his ace, but if he had counted South's tricks, he would have realized it was right to underlead his heart honors at trick six. East would win with hi s vital eight, then switch to the spade king, knocking out dummy's entry before the club jack could be cashed. This kills the contract. South can always get home by ducking trick one, but that is very dangerou s, given West's vulnera- ' ble four-hean opening, which will usually be on an eighl-bagger. • •·•• •• J'ly PHILLIP ALDER •'• • •• I '·I , North •• Slug it out rt'-"7----- • •' ' Weal IMCKWOOOIY Tt4t STONe.
