Tired of poor returns from traditional methods of luring the opposite sex, singletons in Britain are turning to a quick-fix solution: speed dating. Lining up at tables in bars and clubs across the country, single men and women come on to one another for precisely three minutes before a bell sends them shuffling over to the next table. Salsa dancing and games (tarot cards, anyone?) are also on offer. Daters mark their card if they find someone interesting, and if the attraction is mutual the pair can swap e-mails later.

...society must ensure that the largely minority (and largely failing) inner-city schools are brought up to standards that will guarantee that everyone’s access to educational opportunity is based on merit. While increasing the quality of inner-city education may not be the immediate, quick fix solution that politicians are looking for, ultimately it is the only way to achieve a university environment that values both diversity and success.

...proving that the public supported the president's policy towards Saddam Hussein, he was willing to get off message about the economy. "The Iraq numbers are fine," he said, "it's the numbers on the economy that worry us." Tonight, Bush did more to help the first than to fix the second...
