'We Shall See the Reign of Witches Pass Over'new
Hidden somewhere in the results of the Nov. 2 election, there is an ocean of hope. If, for example, only 18- to 29-year-olds had voted, many of George Bush's red states would have been swamped by blue ink, and John Kerry would have won the Electoral College 375-163.
