Mrs. Perdomo's husband, Fred, a 40-year-old tax collector for the Internal Revenue Service, said the children are instinctively holding back on their Christmas requests this year, since talk of money has been such a big part of their post-Andrew lives.

Many people, including Campbell, expected that the two allies would never face off for the top job.

Clark sees himself as the best candidate to fend off the dictates of a strong governor. "In 1994, the new governor may go back (to Alabama tradition) and try to dictate who is speaker," Clark said. "People in Alabama are very happy with how the House is operating now." Clark, like Campbell, has been a strong advocate of a House that functions independently of the governor. With Gov. Guy Hunt's support in 1987, Clark had little trouble winning a House vote for his first term.

But after he and Hunt clashed on some key votes during that term, Decorations census study, said that certain problems with the 1980 census may have caused an overreporting of English ancestry and that the 1990 figures are probably more accurate. Nationally, English was the leading ancestry group in 1980, but third highest in 1990. "Over the generations, I think there has been a tendency to allow our immigrant identity to be washed out, if it is not reinforced by the racial identification," Norrell said. The Census Bureau defines ancestry as a person's ethnic origin or descent or heritage, or the place of birth of the person or the person's parents before their arrival in the United States. The bureau said some respondents may not identify with their own origin or that of their ancestors, and instead chose to report American.

Most of the respondents who called themselves American lived in the South, Ms. Lapham said. Alabama's black population is 25 percent, although 21 percent described themselves as Afro-American in the census report.

And unlike the Grinch they don't have a change of heart and bring them back. surrounding municipalities and counties say they haven't had any problems with decoration thefts. But Anniston not only has a problem with the thefts, it has difficulty catching the thieves. "I don't know that we've ever made a case on decoration theft," said Lt.

Barry Williams. "It's just a seasonal type of theft. They come in droves." Decoration thieves are hard to catch because it is difficult to trace stolen decorations, he said. They don't look suspicious on another house and aren't unique enough to gain any notice. The thefts don't take a high priority with the police when they are compared to the more serious crimes reported, he said.
