...salvage pupils with alternative opportunities, either inside the schools or outside in other facilities. Two years ago Burke Principal Holland in Boston instituted a program called Lifeline for students who are repeating ninth or tenth grade. Three separate classrooms at Burke house some 45 repeaters, who study three core subjects -- English, math and science -- for longer than usual periods. They move only among those three rooms, switching classes at intervals different from the rest of the school. "It is a mechanism so that we don't put 19-year-olds in ninth-grade classrooms next to 14-year-olds," says...
James McClure's stories about two policemen in his native South Africa, one white and one black, have been noteworthy in equal measure for their poignant evocation of that land, their perception of partnership and their acute sense of sexual obsession. The last is at the core of a novel that otherwise breaks new ground for him.

...them. Aside from Gore and Alexander Haig, who have hoisted the white flag, and Hart and Jackson, who are depending on name recognition and serendipity, the other nine campaigns are following roughly the same strategy: identify your supporters, woo the uncommitted, and make certain to get out your hard-core vote on Feb. 8. Caucus night for the Republicans is generally a well-ordered affair. But Democrats, characteristically, must labor under the heavy burdens of participatory democracy run amok. Caucuses frequently last beyond midnight, as participants debate policy resolutions and try to comply with the party's arcane threshold requirements...
