All he has to do is go to the Ministry of Mines in Zambia and get an export permit. He makes up a name and address of the "supplier" in Angola.

Unlike early childhood education, for which there are widely accepted models for success, high school is an area that education leaders aren't quite sure how to address. In the '90s some states experimented with vouchers, while most raised their targets for student achievement on standardized tests. That hasn't been very successful; just last week, for example, Arizona announced that only 1 in 10 sophomores passed a new state math test, and states are now rushing...
