National Citizens Corps Proposal Aims to Renew Youth Service
A plan for a voluntary national service seeks to enlist up to one million youths aged 18 to 26 for one or two years of community work. Participants would receive $100 weekly and education vouchers worth $10,000 per year, usable for college or job training, with military service as an alternative path. The program envisions funding largely from existing federal education aid and links benefits to service. It mirrors a civilian GI Bill concept tied to George Bush's "thousand points of light" vision.

Virginia law proves NRA can be defeated
Virginia passed a criminal background check requirement on firearm purchases, including handguns, with an 81 vote in the House and 33 6 in the Senate. The measure, supported by NRA and Handgun Control, Inc., aims to curb gun violence, though critics say criminals will still obtain guns through illegal sources. The article discusses national opinions, political pressures, and past battles over the Brady Bill and assault rifle restrictions.
