...however, by a p.r. nightmare that arose from his sale of his Harken stock. In June 1990, Bush sold all 212,140 of his shares for $848,560, more than 2 1/2 times their original value. His mistake was to sell the stock less than two months before Harken reported a stunning $23 million second-quarter loss. (Bush says he did not know Harken was going to report the loss and thought he was selling into good news--the forthcoming announcement of a new drilling contract.) But it was widely assumed that Bush, a director of the company, had insider...
...such popular so-whating persists, Immerwahr warns, the public may begin grasping at phony solutions to global warming.

In this case, as in some others, the shooter was being tormented by a popular classmate simply because he was quiet, a situation too many schools allow to go unchecked. I am 35, and still remember being picked on in high school and treated like an outsider. I clearly recall the ambivalent response by my teachers. I think kids today...
...have been a public high school teacher for 30 years, and I read your report with great interest. But school violence isn't just about depression in youngsters. It's about anger. It is not depression that drives these children to kill. It's anger and their inability to handle their rage. A depressed child kills himself. An angry child kills his classmates and his teachers.
