After Strom: Can a cracker-barrel fabulist capture South Carolina's Senate seat?
Profile of Alex Sanders, the Democratic candidate who sought to replace Strom Thurmond, when the elder Senator retired in 2002. "Sanders is sixty-three," writes Joe Klein, "but his sensibility seems much older--from the time before radio, where people entertained each other by telling yarns....Sanders is an estimable man, the former chief judge of the South Carolina Court of Appeals and, most recently, the president of the College of Charleston." Klein provides a behind-the-scenes look at Sanders' campaign, as well as painting a vivid profile of the man himself.

Witchcraft in Oregon's Youth Prisons
A KEZI-TV's investigation reveals that Wicca, a satanism-related occult has been taught in Oregon youth prisons. The prison officials allowed rabbis, pastors and priests to spend time with the troubled teenagers. Juvenile detainees have been instructed not to share their participation in the occult with their families. Wiccans claim they teach the kids to use magic responsibly; child psychologists and prosecutors believe witchcraft is inappropriate to introduce to incarcerated children who have had bad judgment and have been anti-social.
