Eds: The Capital News Service is closed for the summer. We will return full time in the fall. We expect to move stories periodically during the summer break. We will staff both the Democratic and Republican national conventions and will move copy from both. If you have any questions, please call Rafael Lorente of the Annapolis bureau on his cell phone at 202-841-2375, or Adrianne Flynn of the Washington bureau on her cell phone at 301-512-0074. You may also e-mail us at rlorente@jmail.umd.edu or aflynn@jmail.umd.edu. Thank you as always for your support. See you in the fall.
