...became a teacher and worked in just about every position in education--teacher's aide; staff developer; math coach; and sixth-grade teacher in a self-contained class where he taught social studies, science, math and English language arts. Along the way, he was recruited to work in some of the city's best schools. But when offered a position in his old neighborhood, he realized that that was where he could make the biggest difference. "We each have a responsibility and an obligation to better the lives of as many people as we can," says Kennedy. "There is greatness...
...more reasoned note when the other two go over the top, which they often do. Like Simon and Paula, Randy Jackson has become a celebrity in his own right judging hundreds of warbling American Idol wannabes each week on Fox's unbeatable talent competition, which has steamrolled into its sixth season, debuting with its highest ratings ever.

A sudden, sharp reversal...
...Five paperback volumes of his musings have become bestsellers, and a sixth hits bookstores next month. An Ostrava-based theater is preparing to dramatize his blunders, and prominent Czech actors twist their tongues in Tuesday night televised readings from Ostravak's blog. And as his popularity surges across the country, Ostravak has rescued his hometown's profile from ridicule.
