...perhaps be grateful: even though the goals of the reform bill were the right ones, I'm not convinced that it would have gotten the job done. It could easily have become a familiar legislative charade--a "reform" is passed, there's a nice bill-signing ceremony in the Rose Garden, various pols (including the President) get to take credit, but nothing really changes ... except for the accretion of another sedimentary layer of semi-powerless bureaucracy. In truth, it is impossible for Congress to reorganize the inner workings of the Executive Branch without the full support of the President...
After installing HIP, student test scores at Walt Whitman rose 20%. Karrol-Lee Richards, a seventh-grader, says HIP helped improved her grades from C's to A's. "I log in about four times a day to get advice from the teacher," says Richards. Keys plans to further HIP's reach by allowing students to interact with one another as well.

Many South Asian countries say they are fighting unfair competition. Bangladeshi exporter Faruq, like many others, believes that China manipulates its currency to keep it undervalued against the U.S. dollar, thereby making its exports cheaper than Bangladesh's.

The average Chinese garment-industry worker was paid $1,600 in 2001, more than double his Indian counterpart's wage and four times the money earned by the Bangladeshi.

Our interference in the region has been counterproductive. There will be no scattering of rose petals for Americans, but there will be many more deaths of our troops and of Iraqis too. Show me the moral value in that...
It is doubtless one of the best-loved elements of the Christmas tale. To scholar Brown tracing its path in Matthew, however, the star was a puzzle, a celestial body engaged in a maneuver a little like a car attempting a three-point turn. "A star that rose in the east, appeared over Jerusalem, turned south to Bethlehem, and then came to rest over a house," he ruminated, "would have constituted a celestial phenomenon unparalleled in astronomical history. Yet it did not receive notice in the records of the time...
