...anyone? anyone?): “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” No topic (except perhaps the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act) can prevent good teachers from constructing lesson plans that pique their students’ curiosity. All-star educators can explain the difference between capitalism and communism with a bag of M&M’s and can start any history lesson with an article from the day’s newspaper. Can you?9. Put your knowledge to use: A huge problem for many of the nation’s teachers is a lack of sufficient...
...patience. At summer's end, President Bush gave a trio of speeches equating the war on terrorism to World War II--given that both pitted freedom against "a murderous ideology." He compared Iraq last week to yet another conflict that enjoyed bipartisan support. "Islamic radicalism, like the ideology of communism, contains inherent contradictions that doom it to failure," he declared. A White House official involved in preparing the 40-min. speech said it was designed to describe the enemy more precisely than in the past: "The attacks may be senseless, but they all fit together...
Flowers wreathed the gates of the Gdansk shipyard, where the trade union movement that helped overthrow communism in Poland was born 25 years ago. In Solidarity Square, named after that movement, patriotism bloomed, too, as crowds chanted "Polska! Polska!" at a ceremony last month celebrating Solidarity's founding.

It was opposition to communism that brought together a disparate group of socialists, free marketeers, intellectuals, dockworkers, lawyers and university professors to found Solidarity a quarter of a century ago. Now members of that group have a chance to transform Poland once again. "It's a pity they haven't created one party," says...
...Victory Square on June 2, 1979, he was about to change history. It was only the second of his 104 papal trips, but perhaps the most moving -and momentous. His inspiring, but carefully chosen words were credited by many as opening the first crack in the edifice of communism. John Paul's deft diplomacy and his experience of life behind the Iron Curtain made the Polish pontiff uniquely placed to tackle the defining political issue of the day. But Benedict XVI has assumed the papacy at a moment where the Cold War has been replaced by the challenge of Islamic...
