Music students leave for Europe fearlessly
(06/15/02)
Every other year, Southeast Missouri State University music professor Dr. Robert Gifford leads a group of mostly high school students on a two-week concert-playing tour across Europe. In 2000, the Missouri Ambassadors of Music numbered nearly 300 students and adult chaperones.

(06/15/02)
As Girl Scouts gathered around the campfire Friday afternoon, the laughter and songs that echoed through Camp Sacagawea during cooking classes and geology classes earlier in the week were nowhere to be found.

Protestants in America give support to Israelis
(06/15/02)
The siege at Bethlehem's revered Church of the Nativity dramatized the distress among the Mideast's oft-neglected third party, Arab Christians.

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell pulls the wheel hard right, sweat budding across his cheeks as he guides the Chevy Suburban around potholes in the dirt road. It's a rough drive to the mountaintop overlooking his 4,300-acre property. But the view, he promises, is worth the trip...

Extra tax money for highways weighed by board
(06/15/02)
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Passage of a transportation tax increase this August could triple state spending on major road projects and public transit and bring Missouri's entire interstate system into good condition over the next 10 years. However, it wouldn't pay for the widening of Interstate 70 to three lanes across Missouri, nor would it fund light rail in Kansas City nor a major expansion of the MetroLink system in St. Louis...

(06/15/02)
WASHINGTON -- Former President Clinton raked in $9.2 million in speaking fees in his first year out of office, and wife Hillary Rodham Clinton did well, too, with a $2.85 million advance for her memoirs.

States find mixed results in making licenses harder to get
(06/15/02)
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- State officials around the country adopted a similar line of reasoning after Sept. 11: If most of the terrorists got on planes by flashing driver's licenses, maybe those licenses were too easy to get. At least 30 states proposed changes, ranging from stricter penalties for creating fake IDs to making the licenses of noncitizens expire when their legal stay ends...

Slice of Americana Laugh if you want, but Spam has its own muse

AUSTIN, Minn. -- Depending on who's eating it, Spam is either a slice of post-war Americana or a slice of who knows what. Whatever it is, the canned convenience food now has its own museum.

HOUSTON -- The judge in the Arthur Andersen LLP trial for obstruction of justice ruled Friday that jurors do not have to agree on who committed the crime as long as each of them believes somebody did.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The special U.S. envoy to Afghanistan defended America's alliance with local warlords Friday, saying they are necessary in the fight against al-Qaida and the Taliban.

Goal setting, goal getting

In this harried world of work, oftentimes we allow the "work" to keep us too busy to take the time to set some goals. ...

Safe House has given decade of service

Fortunately, for most women, the idea of having to flee an abusive spouse is a foreign one. But for those who don't feel safe in their own homes -- the victims of violent men who leave them battered in body and spirit -- it is a sad reality. The trouble is, so many of them have no place to go. Their abusers cut them off from friends and family. They may suffer from low self-esteem and feel unable to make it on their own. And they worry about who will feed and shelter their children...
