City Councilman Martin O'Malley, the Democratic nominee for mayor, is recommending Councilwoman Stephanie Rawlings for vice president of the council -- a boost for Rawlings, who would become the mayor's floor leader during debates in the city legislature.Rawlings would have to garner a majority vote in the council to take the post, but Councilwoman Sheila Dixon, the Democratic nominee for council president, said she believes Rawlings will have the needed votes."I'm supporting [Rawlings] because of the fact that she's such a serious council person," O'Malley said.

TEMPLE, Texas -- Seated before a computer at Thornton Elementary School, 7-year-old Stephanie Taylor plays what looks like a Nintendo game. Crossing and uncrossing pink tennis shoes, she concentrates mightily on "Old MacDonald's Flying Farm."The object of the game is to grasp and hold a flying animal while the player listens to a repeating sound. When the sound changes, Stephanie releases the animal with her mouse. It flies to safety, and Stephanie wins a point.Stephanie is engaged in one of several new commercial programs designed to enhance phonemic awareness -- and "rewire" her brain.

On their wedding day, Stephen Christ waited for Stephanie Tagliaferro at the very same altar where she first saw him 17 years ago.In August 1982, Stephen was a 12-year-old altar boy at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Baltimore.

WASHINGTON -- The accusation that President Clinton cares deeply about nothing is refuted by his tenacious and guileful battle to prevent any meaningful limits on the form of infanticide known as partial-birth abortion. That battle proves that his professed desire to make abortion "rare" applies only to the fourth trimester of pregnancies.Soon -- probably in the first half of May -- the battle will be rejoined in the Senate where the minority leader, South Dakota's Tom Daschle, will offer what he will advertise as a compromise.

About two dozen planes crashed at South Carroll High School yesterday. No one was hurt, if you don't count bruised egos.Northrop Grumman Corp. engineers Peter A. Stenger and Eric Spears spent the day talking to students about what they do for a living, then had students tackle an engineering problem: Design and build a trigger launcher for a foam glider, using only the inexpensive household materials supplied in manila envelope kits.A contest followed to see whose plane went the farthest in a straight path.

CHICAGO -- "Good night."The cold hard steel of the gun's barrel pressed against Stephanie's head. She already had been shot once through her right shoulder, and blood trickled down her arm onto the smooth leather car seats, soaking her fur coat.The air was cold, the winter night still, except for a dog barking in the distance. The white $26,000 Infiniti, Stephanie's most prized possession among a collection that included diamond rings, bracelets and gold necklaces, now sat idling near the railroad tracks on the Far South Side.

The phone in the Parentes' 10th-floor hotel room rang just before midnight. By then, a mother and two daughters staying there had been beaten and asphyxiated by the man who answered the phone.

On Wednesday, Baltimore County police sketched a timeline for the murder-suicide of a Long Island family in a room at the Sheraton hotel in Towson. Officials described methodical killings over a period of hours Sunday, but a crime with no clearly defined motive since the killer left no suicide note.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake went into the family business, a line of work that demands glad-handing and baby-kissing. But apparently there are limits to how up-close-and-personal she wants to get with customers. At a public hearing last week about her live entertainment bill, the City Council president and daughter of the late Del. Pete Rawlings let a woman have it for addressing her as "Stephanie." The woman was testifying against the bill but was not the least bit confrontational, judging by the city's tape recording of the proceedings, which I heard Tuesday.
