...United Nations Protection Force - later unpredep, for U.N. Preventive Deployment - which put a Nordic battalion and an American task force along Macedonia's northern and northwestern borders from 1992 until 1999. There was the OSCE - the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe - and its presciently named Spillover Monitor Mission to Skopje. There were dozens of worthy initiatives to bolster democracy, promote understanding, and damp down ethnic strife. But now tank shells are flying again, and the real prospect of more widespread killing looms. So what came of all that effort to make Macedonia the star pupil of the troubled...

Beside them sits an evil-looking robotic biped that serves alternately as sophisticated jukebox and lethal assassin...
...sheer wattage in each classroom to levels that teacher might be able to direct, focus and harness for the good. Here begins my brainstorming: what about having highly trained teachers stay with a very small group of 7-10 students from K-5th grade, allowing them to truly monitor and witness the development of their charges through time? With this level of commitment over a number of years, a grade-school teacher becomes less of a teacher and more of an extra parent, augmenting whatever existing family structure there is at home, eliminating those children growing up without long-term...
