...multiple-choice test, however, cannot accurately assess true knowledge of a subject, and some students have difficulty showing what they know in a standardized test format. There are countless stories of students improving 200 or more points on the SAT, either with or without extra preparation. According to the logic of standardized tests, this means that these students are 12.5 percent smarter than before the course, that they have gained immense knowledge from practicing analogies repeatedly. This, however, seems improbable. In many ways, knowledge cannot be measured by filling in bubbles for three hours—especially in the humanities...
What's the first thing you do if the ground beneath you starts to rumble and the walls begin to shake? Grab the kids and run? Check your home-insurance policy? Fall on your knees and pray for deliverance? All logical enough reactions, but not your very first one. Instead, even when faced with imminent disaster, you'll spend precious time asking, "What was that?" It's called the cognitive imperative, the uniquely human, hardwired instinct to link cause with effect that gave us a vital evolutionary advantage over other animal species.

But with polls showing nearly 70% of voters opposing the law, and his own approval ratings nearing 30%, de Villepin is now voicing a willingness to negotiate with unions. The reversal seeks to defuse a crisis threatening not only de Villepin's government, but his 2007 presidential ambitions as well. Indeed, his new willingness to negotiate came just hours after Interior Minister and fellow presidential aspirant Nicolas Sarkozy moved to carefully distance himself from...
...Charlie's logic went something like this: "I'd rather you kill me than this cancer and you might learn something in the process - so bring it on, Doc". He was a very strong, young man and figured he could take a lot more chemo, a lot more surgery and a lot more radiation than most patients. It wasn't that he had the "we're going to beat this thing, Ruff" attitude. He expected death, pretty soon, but he wanted to be the victim of medical target practice, not what the ancients called the crab...
