Listen as Bush invokes his "crusade" to improve schools and Gore calls for an education "revolution," and it's hard to believe that just 45 years ago the Federal Government didn't spend a dime on K-12 education. Even now, Washington provides only about 7% of public school spending. Yet this year Bush and Gore--while rooted in different philosophies--have come up with thoughtful, detailed plans to tackle our most pressing educational challenges: schools that repeatedly fail, the opportunity for more early-childhood learning, the shortage of qualified teachers, the high cost of college tuition.

They're a concept-interchangeable and a dime a dozen. Ironic, isn't it? They're not bad people, these Pearl Girls. They're just, well, intolerable. But their reign over campuses like Harvard, urban meccas like New York and popular culture is indisputable. Snotty girls rule with attitude and an iron fist. Not only will they be the next editors...
Kirk Whalum is one of "those guys," one of those smooth-jazz saxophonists who seem to now be a dime a dozen. However, with his eighth solo project, Unconditional, he attempts to distance himself from the pack, employing a fuller tone and grittier attack than before in an album of tributes and pop tune covers...
