    Oxford- When a staff member at Penns Grove Intermediate School was found to have active tuberculosis, the Chester County Health Department as to test the entire school, including those who had not spent time with that person. Out of the 537 students and staff tested, Superintendent Mary Jane Gales reported that there are 21 positive results. That is just 3.7 percent of those who were tested, a lower figure than the 5 percent to 8 percent that would be expected in the general population. "We are well below (the average) but of course, it is still a concern to us,"...

    Gore 2000 and DNC legal teams attack several Florida counties with lawsuits. Who will pick up the tab for lawyers to defend the counties? Who will pick up the tab for added security and police overtime? The taxpayers are about to find out how much Gore really thinks of them.

    The Supreme Court determined that prayer must be removed from school. We now must consider the application of the courts decision to all taxpayer funded prisons. Chapels and gathering places for discussion of Godly things will not be allowed as I understand the court. Will prisoners be treated differently than students in that they may have mention of God and practice religion in a state or federally funded building?

    PHILADELPHIA -(AP)-Antioch College's commencement speaker won't be delivering the keynote address in person, as much as he might like to. That's because he's on death row. Mumia Abu-Jamal, a radio journalist and former Black Panther activist convicted of killing a Philadelphia police officer in 1981, will speak at the April 29 graduation in Yellow Springs, Ohio, via audiotape, as he did last year at Washington's Evergreen State College. The 45 year old says his cause has drawn international support in part because of his 1995 book, "Live From Death Row," which focuses on race and the justice system. He maintains ...

    The Internal Revenue Service apparently taxed the nerves of one federal judge. "Beset by budget cuts, our federal tax collectors have chosen to focus on cases that really count," U.S.District Judge Jed S. Rakoff wrote with sarcasm in a decision made public on Thursday. Rakoff dismissed the case brought by the IRS against Susan Lesinski and Peter McGrath, who were married in the early 1990s but later separated. The couple was three days late in filing for an approximate $10,000 they overpaid in 1991. The IRS citing the lateness of the filing, claimed the couple wasn't entitled to the ...
