...more so than one of those frightening children's beauty contests made popular in the southern U.S. Or on a broader scale, Delisle does an outstanding job of depicting North Korea's relentless culture of fear and hostility, where "volunteers" keep unused roads tidy, where people vanish and their fate is unspoken-of and where the few forms of entertainment relentlessly depict the U.S and Japan as cruel torturers bent on destroying North Korea. Yet don't most U.S. citizens live in a different kind of perpetual fear? Both homegrown gun violence and international terrorism have literally raised our "threat...
Sonnert, who is also a research associate in the Physics Department, has been looking into the fate of promising female scientists since the late 1980s. He helped lead a large-scale study 15 years ago that examined the “career outcomes” of men and women pursuing two of the nation’s most prestigious post-doctoral fellowships...

The fate of 372,000 displaced children is at least as important to the nation as the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast, and unlike the payment of rebuilding costs, education isn't a choice--it's a government guarantee. Yet for days it appeared the feds might foist much of the obligation on state school systems, 47 of which are hosting Katrina students. Most evaluated the problem and decided to teach first...
