...addition to lack of counseling and Advanced Placement courses, students in poorer communities are also far less likely to have access to exam-preparation courses that teach strategies for doing well on standardized tests, or to be able to hire private college counselors, a tactic increasingly resorted to by anxious students...
...should have let the potentially career-ending charges hang over Blanchard for so long. By comparison, when a top Navy admiral suggested during a breakfast with the press last year that U.S. servicemen charged in the rape of a 12-year-old Okinawan girl would have been smarter to hire a prostitute instead, he was out of his job by dinnertime.

Firing workers, even for cause, is so pricey that employers are reluctant to hire them in the first place. So Spain pays for its kindness with a jobless rate of more than 20%, Europe's highest. Italy, although more entrepreneurial than Spain, has similar laws and an unemployment rate of 12%. Textile-factory boss Marina Salaman of Treviso needs new staff but admits...
