...Kozol has spent much of the last two years visiting free schools across the country and evaluating what was partly his own handiwork. In general, he reports in the current Harvard Educational Review, he was pleased by what he found in ghetto storefront schools, where the chief problem was constant staff turnover. All too often, Kozol writes, the teachers are young whites who spend a year in "the race and conscience bag," then discover new slogans and bywords and leave for "a new dedication." Nevertheless, the ghetto schools' education programs, by virtue of their locations, have inherently "a strong...
...Wallace was read in court; he was so proud of it he had hoped to sell it to Time Inc. for $100,000. It exposed the eerie inner world of the full-time loser determined to become "number one" by carrying out fantasies of violence. Though it seemed the handiwork of a madman, the jury took only an hour and 35 minutes to find Bremer sane-on narrow legal grounds-and guilty.

...stands. On the cover was Miss Liberty in all her Grecian-gowned glory, about to be done in by sinister men armed with rifles and long Turkish knives. Were those the Russian and North Korean flags over their heads? They most certainly were. This unabashedly patriotic comic, the handiwork of a wealthy, middle-aged illustrator named José G. Cruz, spins out in cartoons, photographs and cryptic dialogue what many Mexicans are talking about these days: the arrest of 20 young Mexican revolutionaries who traveled to North Korea for guerrilla training and returned home to cause the severest strain...
