...answer to why ETA continues its violent fight is more chilling. "From ETA's own internal communications we know that they themselves can no longer justify the violence," he says. "They realize they're not going to get negotiations. They realize they're not going to radicalize the [mainstream] Basque Nationalist Party. They have no theory of violence anymore. For the past three or four years, it's been purely reactionary. It's all they know...

One champion of this movement is Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, who on July 8 introduced the Time for Innovation Matters in Education Act, which would provide federal grants for states and districts to "expand learning time in high...
...your book, you detail several big online ventures started by smart mainstream-media titans that failed. What don't the mainstream media understand about blogging? Today there are a huge number of really great blogs under the umbrella of traditional-media companies. In the earliest days, it took a while to figure out that this form made sense. But I think it's still hard for a lot of media companies to really hand a journalist the keys to a blog and say, Go do your thing. And it's hard for journalists, even if given that freedom...
