Head to head: Bush supports equal opportunity

By Alyson Brodsy and Willie Sutherland · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 7:33 p.m.

In the 1960s, the civil rights movement sought the assistance of government to protect the fundamental right that all men are created equal.

'Eyes Wide Shut' deserves second look

By Chris Sikich · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 10:50 a.m.

By Alyson Brodsy and Jennifer Wagner · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 12:42 a.m.

It seems the nation is abuzz with election zeal right now. But the politicians know better. They understand America is caught in a downward spiral of declining voter turnout.
