OUTLYING PRECINCTS

CNS NEWS - More than six years after the Clintons left the White House,
nearly half of the respondents in a new poll -- 45 percent -- worry that
if they return, they could bring "high levels of corruption" with them.
. . Forty-two percent of respondents also said they view Sen. Clinton as
corrupt. Of those, 17 percent regard her as "very corrupt."

American students, up from the 249 who were offered a place in the

ELITE ETHNOGRAPHY

TMZ - Britney's reported new rehab man, singer Howie Day, isn't exactly
the face of a healthy relationship. . . if his police record is any
indication of what type of support he'll be on Brit's bewigged road to
recovery. The duo met at Promises rehab and are now said to be having a
spring fling. Day was arrested in Wisconsin in 2004 for locking a woman
in the bathroom of a tour bus after she refused his sexual advances. He
pleaded no contest to a charge of disorderly conduct. A year later,
Howie was arrested at Boston's Logan Airport for harassing flight
attendants while on a flight from Dallas and was eventually ordered to
one year's probation as part of a plea deal.
