Editorial attack on Graham candidate heats South Carolina race
Editorial claims South Carolina Democratic Party chair Dick Harpoothan used an alleged remark about Lindsey Graham being “too light in the loafers” to attack the Republican senator candidate to replace Strom Thurmond. The piece notes Graham’s focus on impeaching Clinton, Thurmond’s retirement in 2003, and calls for merit over innuendo in campaigns.

Third graders learn about newspapers at Aiken Elementary
David Boyd and I visited Mrs Camp's third grade class at Aiken Elementary to discuss newspapers. Students already knew many facts, cited uses from events to birth notices, and asked sharp questions about news, wages, and how editors refine columns. They demonstrated strong computer skills through a PowerPoint on African American leaders and asked about our processes from draft to publish. Peripheral details include classroom topics, costs of newspapers, and contact information for the Aiken Standard.

Bush plan questions America's tax system
Syndicate columnist Ony Snow notes President Bush’s tax plan raises questions about progressivity and fairness. He argues the push to take millions off the tax rolls worsens complexity and loopholes, creating an unfair, incomprehensible system that punishes work and rewards political influence. A flat tax idea from Steve Forbes is suggested as a potential reform.
