And the thing that jumps out at us, Jean, is how close the Senate race appears to be.
Based on interviews with more than 1-thousand Virginia voters- -actual voters who voted today- -there's not a lot of ticket splitting going on. With George W. Bush doing well in Virginia, George Allen is too.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=745-Independents/Robb/47/%/Allen/53/%;]

Allen has managed to gain the support of more people who consider themselves politically independent than Chuck Robb has.
[SUPER=745-Democrats/Robb/89/%/Allen/11/%;]

Allen is also doing a slightly better job of delivering voters in his own party. Of those voters who identified themselves Democrats, 89-percent voted for Robb, 11-percent for Allen.
[SUPER=745-Republicans/Robb/6/%/Allen/93/%;]
Among Republican voters, six percent said they voted for Robb, 93-percent sided with Allen.
[SUPER=745-H.S.-College/Robb/43/%/Allen/57/%;]

The Incumbent Senator seems to be doing well with better- educated voters. George Allen turns in a positive showing among among all educational levels- -high school through college.
[SUPER=745-Post-Graduate/Robb/55/%/Allen/45/%;]
But Chuck Robb wins the post graduates.

The race for the Presidency in Virginia may not be quite as close as the Senate contest. But there are some interesting findings in the split between Governor Bush and Vice President Al Gore. Generally women favor Gore over Bush.

Among working women, 54-percent said they voted for the Vice President; 40-percent preferred the Texas Governor.
[SUPER=745-Non-Working Women/Gore/40/%/Bush/54/%;] At the same time, the exit polls indicates NON-working women favor B

ST MARY'S HOSPITAL SPOKESWOMAN: This complex procedure finished at around five o'clock this morning....Jodie is currently in a critical but stable condition. Unfortunately despite all the efforts of the medical team, Mary sadly died. As with all major surgery, the first few days following a major operation are the most critical and our thoughts remain with Jodie and her parents.

(hospital exteriors)
NARR: THE TWENTY-HOUR OPERATION BY A TEAM OF TWENTY DOCTORS AND NURSES AT A HOSPITAL IN MANCHESTER IN NORTHERN ENGLAND WAS - A LIFE AND DEATH PROCEDURE THAT FOLLOWED WEEKS OF MORAL AND LEGAL ARGUMENTS OVER MEDICAL ETHICS AND PARENTAL RIGHTS.

(graphic)
COURT PAPERS CALLED THE BABY GIRLS MARY AND JODY. JOINED AT THE HIPS, ONLY JODY HAD A WORKING HEART AND LUNGS - PROVIDING LIFE SUPPORT FOR HER SISTER, BUT AT A PERILOUS COST TO HER OWN HEALTH AND STRENGTH. MARY COULD NOT SURVIVE SEPARATION, BUT WITHOUT THE SURGERY, DOCTORS HAD SAID, BOTH WOULD SURELY DIE.
EXPERTS SAID THAT WAS BOUND TO MAKE THE SURGERY A TRIAL FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED.

SOT PROFESSOR ALBERT SPITZ: There will probably be emotional problems on
behalf of the staff and clearly when one child is going to die during the operation it involves an enormous amount of emotional upset, and that has to be catered for in preparation of the operation.
THE PARENTS, DEVOUT CATHOLICS FROM THE SMALL MEDITERRANEAN ISLAND OF GOZO, HAD OPPOSED THE SURGERY - ARGUING THAT FAITH TAUGHT THEM NATURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO TAKES ITS COURSE. THOUGH A COURT RULING SANCTIONED THE OPERATION, ITS OUTCOME WAS NEVER CERTAIN.

SOT SPITZ: Whatever investigations have been carried out prior to the
operations the surgeons have to be aware that they may come across something which they did not anticipate before hand. And this will have to be dealt with at the time. And it may change the scheduled plan completely.

(hospital interiors?)
THE COMPLETE PROGNOSIS FOR THE SURVIVING TWIN IS STILL UNCERTAIN. THE SURGERY THAT ENDED EARLY TODAY IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A SERIES OF OPERATIONS JODY WILL NEED TO RECONSTRUCT HER LOWER BODY, TO GIVE HER AS MUCH NORMAL FUNCTION AS POSSIBLE.
Roth on camera close: IT IS STILL VERY EARLY FOR ANY SURE MEASURES OF HER MEDICAL CONDITION. SINCE THE TWINS WERE FUSED AT THE SPINE, THERE WAS CONCERN JODY MIGHT SUFFER PARTIAL PARALYSIS. AT THE LEAST, DOCTORS HAD SAID THEY ANTICIPATED THE LITTLE GIRL WOULD FACE ADDITIONAL SURGERY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS -- BUT THE CASE IS NOT UNIQUE AND THE OUTLOOK DOES HAVE PROMISE: THERE WAS A SIMILAR SEPARATION OF CONJOINED TWINS IN AMERICA A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, WITH LESS PUBLICITY -- AND THE SURVIVING TWIN IS NOW A THRIVING TODDLER.

Gamblers in Atlantic City can now burn more than just holes in their wallets while trying to hit the jackpot -- they can also burn calories.
That's because Tropicana Casino Resort has installed ten "pedal and play" slot machines.
A stationary bike is connected to the slot machine -- and buttons on the handlebar are the controls.
There is one catch -- to find out calories burned and time elapsed - the rider must be betting.

Cave Spring high school has run out of appeals in its hopes of getting into the upcoming playoffs and getting back the six games it was forced to forfeit due to using an ineligible player. This afternoon, independent hearing officer Bill Watkins, an attorney from Waynesboro, upheld the Virginia High School League's ruling. This means that the Roanoke Valley district, the VHSL's executive director, the league's appeals committee and the independent attorney have all ruled that the player in question was ineligible.
