...Chickamauga. One of the Union generals had behaved badly and had become unnerved. Lincoln said the general was 'confused and stunned like a duck hit on the head.' You don't have to think about that in the context of 1863. It's just a funny image--full of anger and bitterness but getting deeply to the truth...
This hopeful bit of chauvinism would come as a surprise in Arkansas, where in the past year 35,000 of the state's 45,000 certified teachers have been subjected to a math, reading and writing exam. Some 10% have flunked, and anger at the testing process has been a major reason that about a third of those eligible have sought early retirement. And there are no signs that the Arkansas teachers will soften their stance on the test. "They have not begun to support it," says Clarence Lovell, a testing and certification officer...
University officials planned no disciplinary action against the arrested students and denounced any exclusive connection between the school and a prostitution ring. "I approach this with undisguised anger," said Robert Reichley, vice president for university relations.

"They are essentially stylists under the aegis of the marketing department." Stumpf hates the raw, unfriendly interiors of the standard school bus. He hates dull, inexpressive Amtrak...
After last week's disclosures, even Reagan's fellow Republicans felt a sense of anger and betrayal. Said Durenberger: "I've had it up to here with Nicaragua and the way the Administration uses the CIA to run its paramilitary operations." He added, "I don't know how we can run a responsible operation down there when every Tom, Dick and Harry is trying to do their own part." Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said U.S. officials were looking the other way when arms deals skirted the edge of the law. Said...
