That service is designed both to help students concentrate in class and to give parents a reason to send kids to school in the first place.

Bush gave a startlingly wistful interview to the British newspaper The Times before embarking on his European trip, which took him to Slovenia, Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. "I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone [on Iraq], a different rhetoric," he said. By the time...
