...then we had Grover Cleveland, Ben Harrison (who technically didn't need a middle name because his grandfather was president) and William McKinley...
...experiment reveal about how a free market in education would work? There are, after all, 97,000 students in the Milwaukee public schools. Without greater funding and many more alternative schools, the voucher plan will remain mostly a symbol of black anger at the quality of public education. Herbert Grover, Wisconsin's superintendent of public instruction and a fierce opponent of the voucher program, argues, "Our preppy President went to Phillips Academy, which costs about $13,000 a year.

...Chinese engineering student who comes to the U.S. in 1947 for his doctorate; his wife Helen; and his sister Theresa. The Changs initially disdain the lack of tradition they describe as "typical American" behavior, but soon they are stir-frying hot dogs.

Constructed when Grover Cleveland was President, it handles offenders with sentences of up to 30 months, many of them for violent crimes. For years Massachusetts prisons have been among the most overcrowded in the country, recently housing 15,000 inmates in space built for 10,000. New facilities lag far behind demand. In 1989 alone, the number of Massachusetts inmates increased by 820. Simply to stay even, the state would have to construct a new large facility every year, an impossible objective. Since 1983 Massachusetts has committed...
