Even in the Sunbelt, families with children in extracurricular activities tend to see YRE as disruptive. The staggered vacation times often clash with seasonal schedules for games and practice sessions. Nearly 200 parents in Oxnard lined up in the early-morning hours two years ago to be sure they could register their children in a conventional semester program. But despite such limitations, YRE has grown nationwide, from 243,000 pupils four years ago to 330,000 today...

Everything faces forward, except that the name of the city can never be mentioned without invoking...
...dwarfed behind a desk only slightly smaller than an aircraft carrier. Here is Sir Sidney Barton, the eccentric British envoy who provided the model for Sir Samson Courteney in Evelyn Waugh's farce Black Mischief. Here are camels and trucks, scimitars and machine guns, lions and airplanes in a clash of politics and, more significantly, of centuries. It is a tribute to Mockler that he has managed to make this convoluted tale lucid and compelling. Still, he needed some five decades to go by before the sorrows of Ethiopia could be seen in light of the calamities of Abyssinia...
