The new mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, is a man of the people, ready to
listen to their every concern, but only until 6pm. Then he has to do
his homework.
The local elections on Tuesday may have been dismal for George Bush's
Republican party, but they were a triumph for Michael Sessions, an
independent who emerged as the country's youngest mayor at the age of
18.
Mr Sessions, who is too young to drink in his own town, won by just two
votes after a recount. By 670 votes to 668, he beat the sitting mayor,
who is 51, and had all the advantages of incumbency. And he won despite
the fact that his name was not even on the ballot.
