...help to consider the experience of SEED student Mansur Muhammad, 17. When he arrived seven years ago, the first few weeks were tough. He'd often call his mother and write his dad. Friendships he had in his old neighborhood frayed. But Muhammad, now an honor-roll senior who hopes to become his family's first college graduate, hasn't looked back. He maintains a 3.2 GPA and reshelves books in the school's library for $160 every couple of days, when he's not in his room listening to rap or classical music and writing poetry. Inspired...

...economic stimulus package and $468 billion in aid handed to French banks and finance groups. The protesters now have three main demands: that major funding be given to employees to increase purchasing power; that planned moves to cut public sector jobs be frozen for two years; and that Sarkozy roll back $595 million in tax cuts passed in July 2007, which critics denounce as a sweetheart deal that only 14,000 people - mainly the country's most affluent - benefited from...
