...award winner said he began his education in a Barbadian school on the British model. He called the system "too rigid," and said it "made the assumption that people at a young age know already what they want to do with the rest of their lives...
...Spiegel claims that it conducted tests on the paper, ink and official markings to verify the age of the document. But Waldheim's supporters quickly dismissed it as a fake.

She sighed, snapped shut her purse and said, "Oh well, another $9,000 on the American Express card."
