Natural Florida Thrives In State's Most Crowded CountyWeedon Island Preserve
In Florida's most crowded county, not far from a greyhound track and a busy thoroughfare, kayakers paddle through a labyrinth of trails that wind for miles under the dense canopy of a stunning mangrove forest.

Not To Be Confused With "The Florida Growth Management Initiative"
Howard Dean Yesterday, despite overwhelming public opposition, President Bush commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby, the former White House Chief of Staff to Vice President Cheney who was convicted by a jury of lying about a matter of national security.
