...conversation in Modesto has thus far been much less conciliatory. Despite repeated calls for reform from a small but vocal black parents' group, the district is not weighing any changes to its discipline code. Administrators will not comment on particular cases, but Jim Pfaff, Modesto's associate superintendent, points out that district policy stipulates a stiffer penalty for a student, like Russell, who inflicts injuries causing "stitches, loss of consciousness or a fracture."

For Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon PA reform is code for getting rid of Arafat - the Israeli leader went so far, this week, as to suggest that the U.S. and its allies oust Arafat and "impose" an "interim government" on the Palestinians. But Sharon is unlikely to have much influence over the remaking...
