...perhaps most acute in California. The state, the most populous in the U.S., spends about $48 billion a year on K-12 education, or nearly half its general fund, which receives revenue from a variety of sources, including income and sales taxes. This year, however, the double whammy of endless layoffs and an imploding real estate market has decimated the fund, with legislators projecting a $42 billion deficit by the middle of next year...
...rally, at once gaudy and solemn, marked the culmination of weeks of celebrations that have seen streets bedecked with posters of Khomeini, TV and radio broadcasts of songs with lyrics such as "When the demon [the Shah] leaves, the angel [Khomeini] enters," and endless interviews with heroes of the struggle against the Shah's regime.

...Like the endless blending of culinary traditions - a subject Sardar uses as a point of entry into how and why a term-defying group lazily called South Asians ended up in the U.K. - Balti Britain too is a garam masala of styles. It is part autobiography, part family history, part history, part journalism, part polemical essay. His favored method is to use an often mundane morsel of information and then launch into an erudite analysis of the surprisingly complex ingredients of which it is composed. For example, the unorthodox orthography of the name of his friend, AbdoolKarim Vakil...
