...future of public education in the U.S. Even as politicians push to hold schools and their faculty members accountable as never before for student learning, the nation faces a shortage of teaching talent. About 3.2 million people teach in U.S. public schools, but, according to projections by economist William Hussar at the National Center for Education Statistics, the nation will need to recruit an additional 2.8 million over the next eight years owing to baby-boomer retirement, growing student enrollment and staff turnover-which is especially rapid among new teachers. Finding and keeping high-quality teachers are key to America...

...Recounting the plot of "Mr. D" would be uninstructive. Like real dreams, the narrative develops out of a sequence of symbolic events. In broadest terms, Mr. D. finds himself pursuing and pursued by a hussar-like character named Scallywaggs. On the journey D encounters Su, a man with "Asian features" who collects stories, and Sarah, the woman to whom D literally gives his heart...
Some of the narratives embedded in the triptychs are more straightforward than others. Beginning, 1946-49, is perhaps the most explicit of them all, a summing-up of childhood memory. The small boy in the nursery, dressed in a hussar's uniform and riding furiously on a rocking horse with drawn sword, is plainly Beckmann himself; a Puss-in-Boots hangs upside down from the ceiling; a languid carrot-haired odalisque on the sofa in the foreground blows iridescent soap bubbles of reverie and future desire; and a schoolmasterly figure holds up his hand in a gesture of censoriousness...
...expressing to each other, even in the New Age '90s. Come to think of it, this is hardly the sort of notion one expects to hear any man, in any age, expressing even to himself. But when Sergei Bubka thunders down the runway with the zeal of a mounted hussar about to drive his lance through a peasant yeoman, people are apt to do strange things. Things one wouldn't expect them to do. Things one might call downright ... unnatural. Like the three frat brothers who wrench their gaze away from the bikini-clad strumpets draped over the first-deck...
