...believe there is an over-enrollment of children of color in special education, and we don't believe they all belong there," says Afiya Graham, the school's executive director. "Our conviction is that we have intelligent children who are misunderstood and mislabeled...
...juicy book and a good one. It may even be a bit of a trendsetter. Like Katharine Graham in her recently published autobiography, Personal History, Farrow questions her own passivity in dealing with men and blames herself. Farrow had advantages from the start. She was born to Hollywood royalty (her mother was movie star Maureen O'Sullivan; her father, John Farrow, a director). Among her contemporaries were Candice Bergen and Liza Minnelli.

...flacking in the world wouldn't have been able to catapult her memoir to No. 1 on the Post's best-seller list this week if she hadn't written a spectacular book, rescuing the art of autobiography from years of celebrity abuse. Graham produced her book the old-fashioned way: she wrote it herself. In describing the pain of being the ugly duckling among the beautiful people, and the struggle to transform herself from "doormat" to corporate mogul after her husband's suicide, Graham has mapped the heartache of being flawed and human and female.
