According to Bok, this attempt at a "fair and balanced account of the strengths of our government" will be followed by a second book which will "probe more deeply the question of why our policies and programs so often fail to meet our expectations...
Like so many promising HIV treatments, Ho's strategy could fail. It could even backfire if it is mistakenly touted as a kind of "morning after" treatment that allows people to relax their guard and engage in risky sexual behavior. By desensitizing the virus to medications, it could jeopardize a patient's ability to respond to future treatments. Worse yet, it could inadvertently create a mutant strain of virus resistant to all currently available drugs--a kind of super HIV--that could lead to a second, even more devastating AIDS epidemic...

Sure, my girls like to play with Barbie--a lot, in fact. But we encourage our children to engage in a variety of activities. I fail to see how creating 15,000 Barbie fashion outfits on a computer will give girls an edge. I'm amazed at how American society reinforces extreme stereotyping, as with this Barbie software, and then bemoans the fact that young girls in later years falter in math and science. Is a Barbie...
