It's time to write a letter.

By Jackie Faine and Jacqueline Faine · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 12:08 a.m.

Footsteps from the past have never affected the present so much, according to a recent IU study. Former President Dwight D.

By Alyson Brodsy and Waddell Hamer · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 11:33 p.m.

In a year when the debacles of the president and the nation's leading Republicans might have finally caught up to them and might lead to the Democrats finally getting their chance to screw up the House, I find it surprising that the most important race this year might not be a national election.
