Republicans Had Deal Buries Gingrich Story
A political deal by House leaders led to an overwhelming rejection of Speaker Newt Gingrich, repeating a loss pattern from 1995 and 1996. The piece argues the public never learned Gingrich's side, claims tax-exempt funding of his televised course is nonpartisan, and suggests misperceptions and political spin shaped the outcome.

Education key to investment and job growth in South Carolina
In 1996 South Carolina posted a record capital investment of 5.7 billion with about 26,000 new jobs as aggressive recruitment plus Enterprise Zone Act incentives spurred growth in the Midlands and statewide. Gov. Beasley praised the Commerce Department and urged education emphasis while noting average wages rose to 30,211. A parallel budget note cites a 30 million savings potential from interagency computer integration over 10 years, with 100 staff reductions aimed via attrition. Beasley criticizes condom distribution suspension as ill advised, urging a profamily approach and abstinence counseling alongside existing preventive services.

Letters Argue Basics Over Computers In Education In Aiken
The letter writer contends Georgia school chief Schrenko promotes a six dollar per student program to pass SATs as a crutch. It argues students must have strong fundamentals before using technology, cites NASA’s moon landing and 1950s tech, and questions reliance on spell checkers. It ends affirming council’s choice to abandon an industrial park and redirect funds to local schools and job growth.
