Indiana's voter ID law protects against fraud
Leading up to the law's passage in 2005, the bipartisan Carter-Baker Commission determined that all states, including Indiana, experienced repeated acts of in-person voter fraud. Simultaneously, the National Crime Prevention Council reported that identity theft had become and continues to be the fastest-growing crime in our nation. Just like we now take precautions to prevent ourselves from becoming victims of identity theft when making everyday transactions, simply showing one of several government-issued IDs before voting protects our most sacred civic transaction -- one person, one vote -- from being violated by those who would cheat to win what are becoming an ever-increasing number of close elections. Because the potential existed for pervasive voter fraud and consequent disenfranchisement of legitimate voters, we implemented a comprehensive package of laws designed to improve the integrity of elections.
The Other Women to Watch
Mulcahy had a next act after she helped engineer Xerox's recovery from a near financial collapse in 2001. She also has expanded Xerox's business beyond traditional copiers and printers into the computer systems used by customers to manage documents. After radically paring back Xerox's debt, she has leveraged the company's financial strength in the past 18 months to buy three smaller companies that make software for managing legal evidence, mortgage originations and personalized mailings. Ms. Mulcahy, 54 years old, has said she doesn't have any plans for retirement. But this year, the Xerox board named an heir apparent, long-time lieutenant Ursula Burns, to replace Ms. Mulcahy as president. --William M. Bulkeley * * * .

UVa Aid Policy Gets a Facelift
A year ago, the University of Virginia joined the growing list of selective institutions altering their financial aid policies to make them friendlier to students from low-income families. Now it has decided that it needs to do even more, and do it sooner, than originally planned. .
