Kopp was optimistic that TFA, one of the flagship AmeriCorps programs, would have a future in a Bush Administration. Indeed, Kopp was invited to sit in the First Lady's box at Bush's first budget message to Congress in February 2001. At the same time, Teach for America was designated as one of five education and literacy programs that would receive special attention and support from Laura Bush. In 2002, the President in his State of the Union address called for increased national service and then illustrated what he meant by visiting a Teach for America school in Atlanta...

...more than little ones who sell barrels to beer houses. Still others have used creative marketing to pull themselves back from the brink. The million-liter-per-year, 180-year-old Härle Brewery in Königseggwald went public this year and offered five cases of their flagship Walder Bräu as an annual recurring dividend. The strategy brought in €800,000 - which was enough to both keep the company afloat and lock locals into a uniquely German type of loyalty program. Another brewer, Iserlohner Pilsner, launched a "Save Iserlohner" campaign geared toward the villagers...
