Feel the draft Is Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry shying away from the idea of requiring "mandatory" public service from high school students? He introduced the idea May 20 during a speech to veterans and students. Libertarian presidential candidate Aaron Russo has kept a watchful eye on it. Mr. Russo, perhaps seeing another chance to annoy Mr. Kerry, ramped up his own antidraft rhetoric by saying that Mr. Kerry recently continued to use the pesky word "mandatory" in his description of student service at his campaign Web site. But as of yesterday, Mr. Russo said, the "mandatory" adjective was strangely missing from the account — though it still turned up in a check of the site's archives. The disappearance is a mystery — "just another indicator of the flip-flop nature of John Kerry, perhaps," one insider said. As part of his 100-day plan to change America, Mr. Kerry proposes a comprehensive service plan that would grant four years of college tuition for students in exchange for two years of national service.
