...education, boasting of a Texas record that enabled him to say that he, not Gore, knows what works. Last week a Rand Corp. study called parts of Bush's record into question, noting that many of Texas' touted gains may have been the result of widespread test cramming, not actual learning. But Bush stands by his record (a Rand study earlier this year showed that by several measures Texas leads the nation) and pledges to enact the Texas testing and accountability program on a national scale.

The Harvard Independent, ostensibly a commentary magazine, published a provocative-looking issue last week. The cover story was called "Hillel's face off against the Society of Arab Students." The actual article, however, was less than two pages and was nothing more than a summary of the circumstances surrounding the separate rallies...
