...Suleiman's. "I was terrified," she says. But once she started administering the tablets to her 2-year-old, he "came back to life," Traoré says. Some 3 million children have died of diarrhea since Suleiman did. Now donors and governments have a chance to end this global tragedy. Let's hope they...
...revealed a brutal paradox. Large-scale crackdowns like this one are rare precisely because the dogfighting business mistreats so many dogs. Busting a breeder means taking custody of the dogs, yet no police department or sheriff's office has the resources to kennel, treat and attempt to rehabilitate dozens, let alone hundreds, of abused animals.

Worse, it isn't even that clear what makes a turnaround a turnaround. "There's no agreement on how bad a school has to be in order to qualify," says Andy Smarick, a former deputy assistant education secretary who is a visiting fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education-reform think tank. "There's no agreement on how long it has to sustain that level...
