Gordon believes that if you focus on the performance of the adults and the system in which they operate, student success is sure to follow. The biggest problem with many failing schools, he and others in the turnaround movement say, isn't the kids, the parents or the community - though all three are undeniable factors. The key flaw is that the schools are poorly run. "We are trying to apply modern-management common sense," says Gordon. "Invest in your talent, set goals - continuous improvement, constant feedback."

In a bad economy, the people most likely to cancel their health insurance are healthy people; this leaves the remaining so-called risk pool less healthy, and therefore more expensive to insure. (Waxman, in a follow-up letter to WellPoint, asked the company to explain why data show that it had more individually insured customers in California in 2009 than in 2008.
