...Education (BOE) last month by Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78, after heading up the governor’s task force on PreK-12 public education. “With Paul at the helm of the Board of Education, the Commonwealth gains a leader with a broad perspective on local, national and international education issues and solutions,” Patrick said in a press release announcing the appointment on August 22.

Even more galling, the junta turned a thicket of jungle into a brand new administrative capital in late 2005, a project that doubtless cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build. Today, Naypyidaw is an eerie landscape of broad, empty streets framed by behemoth government ministries. "It's a complete waste of money," says a senior journalist in Rangoon who asked not to be named for fear of being arrested. "The same money could have been used to meet the needs of the poor population...
