That such environments deter student achievement is evident. Take Jared M. Fleisher ’05, who attended an inner-city school in Los Angeles with shoddy facilities and under-prepared teachers. “The resources made it such that everybody was apathetic,” he said. “[The problem was] the physical environment of the school itself.

...Petah Tikva, Israel. In the 1975 book The House on Garibaldi Street, which was made into a TV movie, Harel wrote about how he snared Eichmann. Much feared by his enemies, Harel unmasked Israel Beer, a Soviet mole who had penetrated Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's inner circle, and once made a man confess by simply saying: "I know you're a Russian spy.
