...Marginally more professional was ?Fahrenhype 9/11,? narrated by ex-Leftie haranguer Ron Silver and co-written by tabloid scandal-magnet Dick Morris. This flabby, flailing enterprise pokes some of the same holes in ?Fahrenheit? that mainstream journalists had already spotted - and here I must join Moore in wishing aloud that these journalists had been half as resourceful in challenging the WMD claims of Bush-Cheney-Powell-Rumsfeld - while padding the rest out with malice, fat jokes and campaign speeches for the Republican ticket...

"It brings all aspects of math together," says the straight-A student, who is hoping to go to Harvard. But the challenging college-level course is just one small serving on an academic plate that he has heaped with five additional AP courses, including AP French, AP English Literature and AP Art History.
