...That's because the hard truth of the city's voucher program is that the choice it offers parents is mainly a choice of religious schools. The problem is that Cleveland's vouchers are capped at $2,250--not unusual for a voucher, but far too little money to allow real choice in the private school market. A poor parent who wanted to use a voucher at the Hathaway Brown school in suburban Shaker Heights would be out of luck: tuition there costs more than $13,000 in the higher grades. The $2,250 vouchers work for religious schools because...
...parents use vouchers in suburban public schools. Ohio's voucher law was written to allow vouchers to be used in the suburban schools, but only in those that agreed to take them. Bert Holt, director of Cleveland's voucher program, had high hopes when she made the rounds of suburban school districts to persuade them to sign up.

Electromagnetic guns, lasers, and new fuel types could allow the Army to achieve its goal of fielding such a force that could fight for two weeks without resupply. But until then, the speed of deployment is mostly dependent on how quickly the Army can set up logistics links. Napoleon's old dictum that an army travels on its stomach remains true today...

That means the 82nd has to seize and hold a major airfield within four hours of parachuting in, to allow C-17s carrying M-1 tanks to land. The Army's latest study on the subject isn't much use either. It's titled, "Enabling Rapid and Decisive Strategic Maneuver for the Army After...
...mind either. I mean, one of the things I like about Star Wars is that it stimulates the imagination, and that's why I don't have any qualms about the toys or about any of the things that are going on around Star Wars, because it does allow young people to use their imagination and think outside...
