George W. Bush has given former Secretary of State James Baker authority to seek a court injunction barring Al Gore's campaign from securing manual recounts of contested ballots in Florida.
That's according to several G-O-P officials involved in the discussions. They say it's VERY likely the injunction will be sought.
But they stress the final decision is Baker's.
Drew Levinson has more on the recount.

If you want to take classes but aren't sure where to begin, instructors will help determine your skill level.
And if you'd rather brave the rink without guidance, public skating times are available.
Who knows, with a little practice, you could become a skating sensation yourself.
