...first 12 years of my life, I rarely had to "deal" with my hair except getting it cut and occasionally combing it. I lived in the predominantly black and Latino Mt. Pleasant area of Washington, D.C., and attended basically a black elementary school. We did not see anything strange about our hair. But, in 1989, the year the Berlin wall came crashing down, so did my world of stress-free hair existence when I enrolled in the predominantly white Sidwell Friends School...
...education in this Union. On June 2, Proposition 227 will be voted on by Californians. The so-called "English for the Children" initiative would largely scrap bilingual education in public schools and replace it with a one-year long English immersion program. The initiative is an attempt to deal with a monolithic educational system that is not sufficiently servicing the limited English proficient (LEP) students it claims to help.

Exhibit A is Udolf, a career federal prosecutor in the Justice Department's Miami office on loan to Starr in Washington.

The cast varies from day to day, but the communications team generally consists of McCurry, Emanuel, adviser Paul Begala and various other image makers...
...half that in the summer of 1997. At the close of 1997, Grune agreed to let the institutions divest. Six of eight foundations dumped 11.8 million shares, worth more than a quarter-billion dollars. Critics like Paul Tierney, whose company Corporate Value Partners owns 1.5 million shares, think the deal is less than charitable. The institutions had to sell at 25% under the market price. They were "like lambs being led to the slaughter," he says...
