1) Mayor Richard Wrigley expressed confidence that the gubernatorial debate, which begins at 7:30 p.m. this evening, will have a positive affect on his candidacy. He added, “Gov. Red Davidson is a master of dirty politics, but I won’t take any of his bologna.” (4)
2) For her birthday, the nine year old girl invited five good friends over for ice cream and cake. The chocolate cake was so tasty that anyone of the children could have eaten it all, but they carefully divided it between themselves. (4)
3) Persuaded of the bill’s importance, members of the Democratic and Republican Parties came together on Capitol hill to support Anti-Terrorism legislation, despite their differences on other issues. (4)
4) ROME, Italy – All around the world, Roman catholics today listened as the Pope delivered his homily. (3)
