...Unfortunately, however, Gen Ed is a program not yet ready for prime time. If we wished it to be merely a rearrangement of the same courses into new boxes, the proposed system could start today. But this would not be true reform. Gen Ed’s success will not derive from a creative reassignment of today’s Core courses. Rather, if it achieves its aims, the program’s legacy will be a curriculum that integrates innovative teaching methods, and focuses on the twenty-first century world. Accomplishing such lofty goals requires a period during which...

McCain is also still recovering from the July implosion of his campaign, which resulted in pink slips for most of his staff in the state. Voters, already upset by McCain's support of an immigration reform bill in Congress, gave up on him. "They thought that the campaign was over," says Trey Walker, McCain's campaign manager in the state. But Walker remains optimistic.
