R help - Sep 2013 - Need help to find out the name of my columns and rows in a data file

I've been assigned homework to analyze a file. The R package is
"car". The
specific data file is "Florida."

So, I did the usual stuff:
library(car)
data(Florida)
summary(Florida)

My specific assignment is to run a t-test between GORE and BUSH. (This file
has information on the 2000 election.) 

To run my t-test, my code must be something analogues to:

t.test(case0102$Salary[case0102$Sex=="Female"],case0102$Salary[case0102$Sex=="Male"])
  
Unfortunately, for my Florida data I can't find the analogues titles of the
rows and columns (i.e. Sex and Salary).

Please help.

Please read the Posting Guide. Many of the participants in R-Help are academics
and they are asking _their_ students not to post howmework questions here. The
Posting Guide lays out the reasoning. Please read it, ... and don't expect
replies.

Nabble is NOT the archive for R-help.

You are close--think "names", not "titles", as in rownames
or colnames (no
reason to completely spell out column).  Summary already gave you the 
column names, so type "?rownames" to learn more.
