...Arlen Specter and Bob Barr had their way with Clinton's dubious pardon back in Washington, the former president himself was plotting another brilliant p.r. move a bit further north. Tuesday, sources announced Clinton was abandoning his much-maligned quest for top-floor office space at a pricey midtown office tower in favor of a relative bargain in the heart of Harlem. Where General Accounting Office types and indignant Republicans had been up in arms over the midtown rental specs, Harlem's neighborhood boosters were beside themselves with glee - Clinton's presence on 125th Street was bound to invigorate...
...Each morning these and other children from Olofstorp board a bus and make the 20-minute journey to Hjällbo, the immigrant enclave where the school is located. Despite their demographic dissimilarity, bucolic, middle-class Olofstorp and Hjällbo, which has the dubious distinction of being Sweden's poorest municipality, both fall under the administrative umbrella of the district of Lärjedalen for social services like education. Hjällboskolan is one of Lärjedalen's two public schools for children aged...
Going by the book may be a dubious practice when it comes to textbooks. A recent study by North Carolina State University documented thousands of errors in 12 of the most widely used middle school science texts: the Statue of Liberty is a lefty?

...would consider Toronto one of the fat-cat organizations in baseball? Volonnino and Sherman probably wouldn't, based on the fact that they choose not to rank the Jays among the group of what Volonnino deems "the five-to-eight teams that can realistically compete." And yet, despite this dubious omission, Toronto boasted the highest paid player ever, albeit for a short amount of time. Delgado's signing was, moreover, just three years after the Blue Jays went out and bagged Roger Clemens off the free agent market and away from the Boston Red Sox--a club which, incidentally, Volonnino...
