...national economy continues to nose-dive, a growing number of public schools have found themselves facing similar situations - and making more and more painful cutbacks. Advanced Placement programs, extra help for English learners, art, music and summer school could be on the chopping block in many places. Ditto for efforts to reduce class size. (See pictures of a diverse group of American teens...
...face Detter, Harvard had already lost its first eight matches of the day to the Bantams, who hold the longest winning streak of any American college team in intercollegiate sports with 183 wins in a row. What factors contributed to West’s victory? Talent? Plenty. Determination? Ditto.

Instead of piggybacking onto the obesity epidemic, government officials should address Japan’s specific concerns. High smoking rates (among the highest of the developed nations) are infinitely more pressing than obesity. Ditto for stomach cancer (start a campaign against pickled foods!
