...appeal of the spell-it-out approach is growing because it seems to impact overall performance. Schools that have used these rigid curriculums have seen spikes in sagging test scores, especially among disadvantaged kids. Parents, anxious about the rising importance of standardized tests, like the guarantee that all students will be exposed to a uniform set of skills. And politicians have begun touting the idea on the campaign trail. Al Gore's education agenda cites the benefits of a "core curriculum"; George W. Bush recently spoke at a school that has one. "Teachers don't need creativity," says Diane Ravitch...
...around. In an effort to show the real Andrew Goldstein - if such a person exists - his lawyers have taken him off the medication that keeps his schizophrenia under control. So the jurors will not see a chemically calmed defendant this time; what they will see is most likely an anxious, disturbed man forced to wallow in his illness to somehow satisfy the standards of justice. How this long and ineffably sad story came to such a pass says volumes about a woefully underfunded mental health system and a state government in denial...

Instead, The Whole Nine Yards does promise an funny and ultimately enjoyable experience for one night that while still more air than substance, still speaks for more than most comedies out today. So as the two anxious press groupies told me at the screening, at most three or four stars, yet in conclusion, a worthwhile three and a half star experience...
...extended period. "Generally, doctors are telling their patients not to go on these diets because there is no rigorous, peer-reviewed study showing any of these diets to be effective in the long term. We also have no idea what sort of major health risks these programs might cause." Anxious dieters will have to wait some time before any regimen gets an official stamp of approval, although government officials have indicated an interest in establishing some sort of oversight. But until that happens, doctors urge caution and common sense. And back in the land of quick weight loss...
