...dynamic may be shifting once again. The immediate diplomatic objective of the Palestinian leadership is the deployment of international observers to monitor the implementation of the Mitchell Report. The U.S. endorsed the Palestinian proposal three weeks ago - but only on the condition that both sides accept such observers.

Still, Oz gave Brando plenty of freedom...
...tests were too easy-and that my students weren't really learning anything. The House, worried about establishing a national curriculum, allows states to opt out of NAEP and use different exams for comparison. But with no national benchmark, it will be much harder for the feds to monitor the quality of state exams-and to sanction states that make their tests too easy...
