Among those lamenting this season's priorities is Intel chairman Craig Barrett, who this fall is heading up Achieve, a corporate-driven education initiative that is separate from Ed in '08. Barrett says no one is talking about how we've set such low expectations for our students, who are falling behind other nations'. Instead, he says, "The national debate is on did Sarah Palin shoot a moose or a caribou? Let's get over...

...streets would be clogged with traffic, and we'd be tense over the risk of explosions. Instead, we were unbridled, free, giddy. TIME photographer Yuri Kozyrev has been covering Iraq since before the U.S. invasion. He had already been to Basra three times, but the last time he had driven like this, in a "soft"--unarmored--car and without the protection of the U.S. military, was in late 2003. Earlier this year, the route we were traveling was so rife with violence that the trip would have been impossible. In the past year, the roads south of Baghdad have started...
