A duck and its ducklings cross a city street in Appleton, Wis. You write the cutline.

Top Cutlines:

1. (tie) A team of water polo players head to the White House to meet President Bush, thrilled that the ban on flip flops has been lifted -- Jane Q. Citizen. And: Leaving her quackerbox of a home, a duck leads her offspring to a local AFLAC audition, armed with nothing more than a wing and a prayer -- John Austin.

3. John Kerry, John Edwards, Evan Bayh, Joe Biden and Bill Richardson jockey for position behind Democratic front runner Hillary Rodham Clinton -- There's A Fungus Among Us.
