...course, unschooling lies at an extreme. Home-schooling families fall along a continuum between copying the traditional classroom and "learning" by building Mommy and Daddy a lovely cedar deck. The success of the venture may depend more on the parents than the kids. If they are like Marilyn and Gene McGinnis of Atlanta, devout Mennonites who nonetheless make a conscious effort to teach their children about other cultures and religions, home schooling can broaden and enrich children's minds as much as any schooling. Home schooling also works when parents are like the Deckers in Katy, Texas, parents of five...

Security Council met to review sanctions against Iraq at the end of June, and the Arab neighbors on whom policing such "smart" sanctions would depend have been less than sanguine about the changes. Where Washington is pushing for revisions in the sanctions regime, most of its allies in the Arab world - under pressure from their own streets, which are far more hostile to the U.S. than to Saddam - would be quite content to abandon them altogether...
