...agree: our schools need more Marilyn Whirrys. For 35 years, Whirry has inspired high school students to think deeply about great literature and to use its devices in their writing. She is the kind of teacher that students come back to visit decades later in her classroom in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Last May a national educators' group named her its Teacher of the Year. And with the nation's public schools planning to hire 2.5 million new teachers over the next decade, Whirry is excited that each presidential candidate is pushing ways to recruit, train and reward better teachers. "They...
...Reform Party should also provide a poignant example. This year, Pat Buchanan had the opportunity to blow $26 million dollars that equally fervent Ross Perot supporters won for the Reform Party in 1996 by garnering 7 percent of the vote. Reporting at the Reform Party convention(s) in Long Beach, found old-time Reformers flabbergasted by the way Buchanan could bring his hard-line Republican supporters into their party in search of money.

The underlying prejudice and ignorance of this supposedly humorous piece were staggering. To categorize all Australians as "wussy suburban beach lovers" is as ignorant as it is tasteless. Perhaps the reason Stein decided to link Canadians and Australians is that we are both friendly and accepting peoples, characteristics Stein apparently lacks. Shame on Stein for writing such trash! And on TIME for printing it! DAWN VERHEYLEWEGEN Calgary, Alta...
MacIvor uses rhythmic speech throughout, as the men play off one another's lines and often recite lines together. With a minimal set, consisting only of a lifeguard stand and two chairs, the scenes are instead set by words, often spoken by the referee. The beach, the setting of a long ago tragedy, is particularly set by the repeated lines "Here is the beach. Here...
