Whitlow's Musical Life From Astrodome to Astro Nuts
Ed Whitlow, a Houston musician and former Army Master Sergeant, shares a 23 year career spanning four presidents, UN dignitaries in Korea, and leaders of bands at Ft Hood.

Officials discuss a hearing with an independent scientific body and potential subsequent hearings before an administrative judge. If unsatisfied, residents may sue in district court.

Flood insurance personnel favor citywide classification as simpler and cheaper.

Deer Park Mod Math Program Faces Mixed Support
The Deer Park school board studied the modular math program developed in 1968 at Deer Park Junior High. Teachers mostly supported continuation, but senior high and elementary staff showed less enthusiasm amid surveys showing varying parental opinions and student gains. Administrators cited test scores below national norms in sixth grade but strong ninth grade and SAT results for later students. The board discussed offering both mod and traditional paths and gathering more data before deciding future options.
