...Arab men signing up for lessons at flight schools. Zacarias Moussaoui, the suspected 20th hijacker, was learning to fly in Minnesota, apparently without asking for landing lessons. Clarke argues that if the President had been demanding action every day from his top aides, they would have passed the heat down the chain of command, and perhaps connections would have been made. That kind of attention from Clinton in late 1999, Clarke contends, prevented a planned al-Qaeda attack against the Los Angeles airport on New Year's Eve. Bush officials respond that the 1999 plot was undone more by luck...
...badly on trips, cricketers say harsh things on the field to their opponents and Ian Thorpe wins every time he hits the water in a race. But last Saturday the nation was reminded that the 21-year-old swimmer is, after all, only human. In a 400-m freestyle heat at Australia's Olympic trials in Sydney, the world-record holder and Olympic champion tumbled into the pool before the starter's signal - and was disqualified for a false start. Swimming has had a "one-start" rule since...

Though there are less than 50,000 students currently receiving them, vouchers have consumed much space in the educational public policy debate. On the other hand, home educators—who now teach 40 times that many students—get little attention from government, and what attention...
Jantzen proved that excellence once again in the championship match. Even when he was up by six points going into the third period against Esposito, Jantzen didn’t let off the heat. He came out strong and scored a quick takedown, furthering his lead to eight points. Most other wrestlers, had they been in a similar situation, might have chosen to do something a bit differently...
