...increased attention given that Texas Gov. George W. Bush is a candidate for the presidency and an outspoken defender of the death penalty. Yet it is unfortunate that the reports emerged in such a politically charged atmosphere, where they were liable to be interpreted as partisan attacks rather than actual calls for reform. The death penalty system in Texas--and across the nation--is broken, and regardless of the political winds, there is an urgent need to end the assembly line of executions...
...actual printing engine is becoming more and more of a commodity," says Ross Waddell, vice president of purchasing at copy giant Kinko's, which, while still Xerox's largest commercial customer, has diversified its equipment base by signing a multimillion-dollar deal with IBM to manage a complex network of high-speed Heidelberger copiers...

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. Bush also proposes a $26.6 billion increase in education spending over 10 years...
