Inside the justices heard arguments

race can be used in assigning students
to public schools.

THEODORE M. SHAW/ NAACP LEGAL DEFENSE

TURNS AROUND THE POSSIBILITY OF EVEN

to put students in schools in hopes of
achieving a diverse student population.

TEDDY GORDON/PARENT�S ATTORNEY:

"WE DON�T WANT TO COLOR CODE CHILDREN
THROUGHOUT THEIR educational career
especially depending on what school
they do get into or don't get

into because they checked the box."

Though federal appeals courts have
upheld both programs Monday the highest
court's conservative justices voiced
skepticism about them. Liberal voices
on the bench say they see no
constitutional problem with

using a student's race.

The Bush administration is backing the
parents who are suing the schools . it
is similar to the way it intervened on
behalf of college and graduate students
who challenged affirmative actions
policies back in 2003.

The court went against the white house

back then.

A decision on this case is not
expected until the spring.

GRAPHIC=None An expert has determined that a stamp

thought to be a rare find and worth

thousands of dollars is, in fact, a
fake.

*CG locator Ft. Lauderdale, FL

The stamp first appeared last month on
an unknown voter's absentee election

ballot.

It was believed to be an "inverted
jenny" stamp from 19-36...featuring an

Upside-down world war one-era airplane.

If it was real, the stamp would have
been worth 270-thousand dollars.

Though it turned out not to be the real
thing...the fake may have some value
because of the infamy of the news
story.

The supervisor of elections may donate
the fake to the Smithsonian.
