...quick Rx: offshore outsourcing. In addition to St. Kitts, India, Britain, Belize and Jamaica are using the nursing-school slot shortage as a selling point to recruit American students. The pioneer of this movement is an 88-year-old entrepreneur named Robert Ross. He made his mark in the 1980s when he founded medical and veterinary schools in Dominica, despite having no background in either medicine or education. Ross University grew into a profitable institution with more than 2,000 students, and Ross sold it for $135 million in 2000 to a private-equity firm. He has reapplied his winning...

"Most of them are not educated. It has happened many times that these suicide bombers' explosives detonate before they reach the target. The result...
...group making the greatest progress in many areas. Hodge told me that when he arrived at the combination middle school and high school 11 years ago, the academy was already a great success--but the student body was 80% female. The new principal made it his business to recruit more boys. Today, of the academy's 1,450 mostly poor and minority students, half are male. Yet the dropout rate remains virtually zero, and this year (like most years) every member of the senior class graduated and was college-bound. Every...
