...push to net-connect every school is an educational disaster in the making. Our schools are in crisis. Statistics prove what I see every day as a parent and a college educator. My wife and I have a constant struggle to get our young boys to master the basic skills they need and our schools hate to teach. As a college teacher, I see the sorry outcome: students who can't write worth a damn, who lack basic math and language skills. Our schools are scared to tell students to sit down and shut up and learn; drill it, memorize...
...action lawsuit against the state of New Jersey on our behalf. The lawsuit was a result of the states' refusal to allow us to jointly adopt our son since we were not married (not that we could be married!). Although the state recognized both of us as Adam's parents, they would not allow us to finalize his adoption jointly.

"cyberbroadcast" facility in Pompano Beach, Fla., with all the facilities, including a gymnasium for its workers. The place cost $1.6 million. No problem...
...says the company (and presumably his image) has turned the corner. The music division, led by bands such as No Doubt and the Wallflowers, is performing well, and Universal is exploring the purchase of EMI, the British music label. His investment in another media company, Time Warner (TIME's parent company), has paid off. In February, Bronfman sold 15 million Time Warner shares for $64.38 each, or about $965 million, nearly double what he paid for them. Universal expects to open new theme parks in Florida and Japan in the next few years. When it comes to movies, however, even...
