...Brown said yesterday that despite the report’s litany of recommendations, extended awareness of the rule would likely be the best student parents can hope for in the near future...

It seemed clear on primary night that Obama was aware of this potential problem, as patriotism replaced hope as a theme of his concession speech.

"I'm going to be interested in finding out what exactly she thinks makes her particularly well prepared, for example, on foreign policy," he told TIME on Wednesday. When her aides are asked, he notes, they cite, of all things, a speech...
