Experts caution, however, that these findings should not be taken as an endorsement of academic drills for preschoolers. Says the study's lead author, Greg Duncan, a social-policy expert at Northwestern University: "The kind of skills that matter in affecting later learning are things parents can pretty easily convey to their children...

Even Japan's economy, mired in recession for much of the past decade, is growing at a healthy pace again. "There...

The big man-little man combinations like Shaq-Wade that have become a generic recipe for success at the NBA level won’t be the model for this team. “It’s not just two guys...
