Thanksgiving travel: myth or reality?

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving might be getting a bad rap: It's not quite the travel nightmare you probably think it is.

Why politicians under a cloud keep winning

Let's not beat around the bush: Miami City Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones, suspended last week by Gov. Charlie Crist after being charged with grand theft days after reelection, should not be allowed to run for the seat from which she was just bounced.

Choosing a school

Charter or magnet? Private or public? Parochial or Montessori? Neighborhood school or home-schooled? When it comes to picking a place to study, it's not just for college kids anymore. Decisions start in pre-school and can go right up through high school. So the fate of where you live and what school is down the block isn't sealed with the mandatory attendance of your children. That makes it interesting -- and sometimes maddening. One bit of advice: Do your homework.
