...work of a life may transcend the biography; a civilized person, the slave-owning hypocrite--or whatever he may have been beneath the impenetrable enamels of his character--formulated, in the Declaration of Independence, the founding aspiration of America and what is still its best self, an ideal that retains its motive force precisely because it is unfulfilled and maybe unfulfillable: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...
...response sounded almost proud and defiant, and beneath it lay a determination long evident at Columbine. In the days following the massacre, Columbine students demanded to return as soon as possible; they wouldn't let Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold take away their school. So the district, with the help of 137 contractors who donated some of their services, completed six months of construction in six weeks, replacing bloody carpeting with tiles and rebuilding the bomb-scarred cafeteria. Meanwhile, DeAngelis so effectively convinced students and parents of the school's safety that enrollment rose to 1983 students--18 more than...
McGinley's relationship to the game is interesting. So is Lauren Holly's with the crippled quarterback, finally letting the inner bitch residing beneath her cool jock's-wife beauty savagely surface.

The victims' families have written thousands of thank-you notes, have created scholarships in the names of their children, and are trying to raise money to build a new library. Students and teachers have managed to have a relatively normal school year, and many are using April 20 as inspiration to rethink the way they treat their peers. All say they are committed to finding ways to ensure that a tragedy like this doesn't happen again...
...fairness, Ivester inherited Goizueta's strategy. And he took office just as Coke's foreign markets, which account for nearly 75% of its profits, were sinking from Moscow to Manila beneath a worldwide wave of currency devaluations. That tanked sales and turned many of the lavish investments that Coke had been making in overseas ventures into instant losers...
