3. Southern Baptist Convention -- Annual Meetings

4. 1912 -- William Howard Taft
   Adult/High School–According to Chace, the election of 1912 was "a defining moment in American history." When Theodore Roosevelt's choice for successor, William Howard Taft, failed to support his reforms, Roosevelt left the GOP convention to run against Taft on the Bull Moose Progressive ticket. This bitter split in the Republican party was ultimately responsible for Woodrow Wilson's unexpected victory. A fourth candidate, Eugene V. Debs, an experienced and influential orator who was later imprisoned for espionage, ran as a Socialist representing labor. Chace makes this election come alive through careful research and clear writing. Describing the primaries, the personalities, the conventions, the campaigns, the issues, the race, and the aftermath, the book often reads like a suspense novel.
5. Lazio -- House Republicans
   In many ways, Lazio is a model Republican. He supported eight of the 10 points in the GOP's "Contract with America." He supported a ban on gays in the military, and supported a short-lived proposal to abolish the U.S. Department of Education. Like most Republicans, he supports charter schools and vouchers for poor children to attend private schools. He ... voted to repeal the so-called "marriage penalty" tax and voted for two of the four articles of impeachment against President Clinton.
6. Outkast -- Big Boi
   Outkast, one member of which is a self-described player and the other a poet, is an anomaly in popular music. Innovative, street-savvy rappers, the duo's appeal cuts across all borders, even within the feudalistic, highly competitive world of hip-hop. Dre and Big Boi's spectacular success as artists not only lies in their ability to pioneer new sounds with each recording, but in accepting their different personalities and building on their common interests — a shared love of Parliament/Funkadelic, James Brown, and Jimi Hendrix.
7. Newt Gingrich -- American People
   Why does Gingrich, the Adulterer and ethically challenged, have a forum in any national debate about anything? This manly man served his cancer stricken wife #1 with divorce papers as she lay in a hospital bed. He divorced wife #2 while screwing around with his mistress who became wife #3. Is wife #4 on the horizon? And people are obsessed with the Clintons. Hell they have only been married to each other.
8. Brougham -- Buildings
   Standing in the Kingdome press box one fall Sunday in 1978, watching the Seahawks threaten to upset the powerful Denver Broncos, Brougham collapsed on the job. As the frail 84-year-old was lifted onto a stretcher, he assigned Owen to pass along regrets to a friend he’d planned to share dinner with after the game. Moments later, the accomplished wordsmith uttered his final refrain. Tugging at the pant leg of a Kingdome elevator operator as they hurdled toward a waiting ambulance below, Brougham asked the one question to which every sportswriter must know the answer: “What’s the score?”
