...came from. Less easy to understand is why Paulson initially stubbornly insisted that the bailout bill be structured as an asset-purchase plan - it's still called the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP - rather than as a straightforward recapitalization of troubled banks. Treasury has since switched to the latter approach, so far putting $216 billion of the TARP hoard into capital injections. On Wednesday, Paulson said that Treasury has concluded that, for the moment at least, buying illiquid mortgage securities "is not the most effective way to use TARP funds." Instead, Treasury will look to help nonbank lenders involved...

...high school short, however, worry that proposals such as New Hampshire's could exacerbate existing socioeconomic gaps. One key concern is whether test results, at age 16, are really valid enough to indicate if a child should go to university or instead head to a technical school - with the latter almost certainly guaranteeing lower future earning potential. "You know that the kids sent in that direction are going to be from low-income, less-educated families while wealthy parents won't permit it," says Iris Rotberg, a George Washington University education policy professor, who notes similar results in Europe...
