...side of the change-versus-experience divide. Her biggest problem is that the experience she's touting is exactly the experience that many voters want to change. The authoress of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" charge is not the candidate to bring left and right together and bridge the hyper-partisan divides of Washington. Yet that's the Hillary Clinton that her campaign has been evoking...
...regardless of whether an applicant has committed an infraction and no matter how qualified an applicant is. Withholding disciplinary records may help a few students in the short-run, but it does so at a tremendous expense.

U.S. News has perfectly capitalized on the zeitgeist of today’s hyper-involved parents and their overachieving children, milking every cent from their anxiety. The idea is so powerful that the magazine has started rankings for pretty darn near everything that can be ranked—from hospitals to high schools. With respect to college rankings at least, which we are best...
