...vouchers, we believe funding non-public schools (whether or not through AmeriCorps) is the wrong approach for improving American education. Money and energy should be pumped directly into the neediest public schools. Or, at the very least, they should be spent researching new ways to improve public education. Every dime spent outside of the public sector through AmeriCorps is a dime that could be solving real problems instead of avoiding them. As for Americorps, rather than reallocating funds, it should simply reallocate instructors.

Abrams has reinvented Alias several times, this season by dialing back an overcomplex story line involving a Nostradamus-like prophecy...
...Harvard, traditions are a dime a dozen. Known for its tradition of academic excellence, Harvard is also the home of Primal Scream and, if you don’t know any better, rubbing the John Harvard statue’s foot. Of course, no list of Harvard traditions would be complete without Harvard-Yale, the weekend before Thanksgiving when half of Yale’s (or Harvard’s) student body descends on its rival’s campus for drunken tailgates, wild parties and, if they can drag themselves as far as Soldier’s Field...
