...hurt public-school systems by drawing away talent and money; they benefit the few at the expense of the many. "If state mandates are really such an impediment to the 1.6 million public-school students in Michigan, then why not remove them for all of us?" asks M.E.A. president Julius Maddox. Such concerns temper the general enthusiasm for charter schools expressed by U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley, who as a Democrat is closely attentive to the union view: "We don't want to take our attention off the great majority of schools.

...Firenze" or "Wash you Feets-e, drive me to Firenze" --the band won't say). Friday's version was a gem with "Frankenstein" sandwiched into the jam section. As the final section of the piece ended, (ana capella vocal improvisation), Anastasio cut into the bluesy, shuffle riff of "Julius," only the third pieces of the night from Hoist.

"The right partners have found each other," he says. For Hayek, predictably, the future of the Swatchmobile is assured. "I'm not a dreamer. I've proved all my life that I'm a down-to-earth guy. We can make this...
...today. The shrinkage has intensified a rolling budget crisis that has forced severe cutbacks in social services to a growing underclass of jobless and low-income blacks: 54% of African-American families earn less than $15,000. "Agencies are all overwhelmed," says Julius Wilkerson, who runs a private outreach effort for high-risk youths. "We need a dozen programs for every one we've got if we're going to give kids an alternative to shooting dope and killing themselves...
