Coffey ■ Continued From Page 4-A were also paraphrases of the New Testament, Benjamin Franklin, and others. The collection also fea tured “Serious Advice to Persons Who have been Sick,” which was •Written by the Right Reverend Edmund Gibson, Bishop of Lon don, who had ordained Hall. The book concludes with a num ber of prayers, including some for children, and various forms of grace. “Although some of these are clearly derived from the Book of Common Prayer, others may well have been original compositions by Hall,” Powell said. In 1755, the house that Hall and his family occupied burned to the ground, and the family lost all then belongings, including Hall’s books, sermons, and clothes. Hall died, unexpectedly, in 1759, leaving his wife, seven daughters and two sons. The only surviving original of Hall’s “Collection” is in the Duke University Library, although a fac simile edition of the little book was published in 1961. Martin Continued From Page 4-A \__*Ju can always raise just as much.) Third, a current office holder can always raise money for his next race - if his current office gives him power. (That is why President Clinton can raise big money for Hillary.) Fourth, a candidate with a large core of loyal family and friends and admirers can often raise a surprisingly large amount of money. (Bill Bradley’s wide circle came through for him and made him a credible candidate when many people didn’t give him a chance.) George W. Bush’s amazing fundraising success came about because he has all these factors going for him. First, the polls show him a strong favorite—in the nomina tion race and in the fall election. Who knows if these polls will O'Connor Continued From Page 4-A are making great gains, when half of the students are still struggling. That’s a shame because, under the ABCs, the number of low-perform lng schools has dwindled to just a few. These are schools that are below 50 percent in grade level performance and which are not improving rapidly enough. The Board may recommend that the General Assembly “raise the bar” and make it more difficult for schools to avoid the “low perform ing” tag and the consequences that designation carries. If the Assem bly were to take that action, it would mean that a school would be considered to be in trouble un less more than half, maybe 60 per cent or more, of its students were performing at grade level. That would be a step in the direction of substance, rather than hype. Beat Continued From Page 4-A thorized Practice statute and thereby overturn the decision against Parsons. The bill said that the sale of books, computer soft ware, Internet sites or similar me dia would not be regarded as the practice of law as long as users were made aware that the prod ucts were not produced by licensed Texas attorneys. It quickly and overwhelmingly passed both houses of the legislature and was signed into law June 19. At issue in this and other unau thorized practice cases is whether consumers will be allowed to choose legal services they want. Bar organizations invariably claim that they are protecting the public from the possibility ofharm, and indeed it is possible that a con sumer will get bad advice from a lawyer. The dual consumer interests of quality and affordability are best served by a system that permits competition while maintaining remedies for consumers harmed by frauds and incompetence. Un authorized-practice statutes stifle competition and even threaten our Constitutional freedoms.

In the meantime, the smart political money is betting on Bush - and there is lots of it to bet. Second, there are a lot of people who cannot stand to have the Democrats in the White House for one minute longer than nec essary. These people are passion ate, and they will give their money generously to someone who will fight the good fight against their enemy. Bush is get ting all the Clinton-hater money - and there is plenty - with more to come Third, Bush is the governor of one or our largest states. He has influence on the destinies on many Texans and people who do business there. The want to be nice to him so he will be nice to them - even if he just remains the governor of Texas. In case you didn’t remember, Texans give big. Fourth, Bush has his own large group of supporters and friends. But he also has the contributor lists and Christmas card lists that his dad and mom collected over a lifetime. Many of these folks would help one of George and Barbara’s children raise money for any good cause. Some of them would give all they have to reverse the results of the 1992 election and put a Bush back in the White House - something George W. Bush has a good chance to accomplish. With all four of these factors working so heavily in Bush’s fa vor, maybe we should ask, “Why hasn’t he raised more?” You can’t blame other politi cal candidates for being jealous of Bush’s success and feeling like they aren’t getting a fair chance to compete. And you can’t blame some of the rest of us for worrying about a political selection system that depends so much on financial success. The holidays are coming.

A.F. DOWNUM, JR. - OPTOMETRIST - SEE BETTER WHEN YOU PLAY Want to improve your tennis or racquetball game? Swim bet ter? Ski more safely? Then do as many athletes — professional as well as amateur — do. Have your corrective prescription ground into the lenses of your sports goggles. Discuss your sports vision options with your optometrist. Most sports-minded people are aware these days of the need for protective lenses. Indeed, most racquetball and squash clubs won't let players on the court without them. The custom-fitted goggles offer the same protection as the ordinary eyewear sold in sports stores, but with the added ad vantage of better vision on the court, the slopes or under water. The same tough polycarbonate lenses that are impact-resistant for protection are available to optical lens-grinding laborato ries, as are specially tinted lenses for better vision in snow glare. brought to you as a community service by: Dr. A.F.
