And then there is the Boris-and-Natasha moment, when Clinton is greeted by Arief Wiriadinata, the Indonesian gardener who with his wife somehow contributed $450,000 to the Democrats--later returned--and who tells the President, "James Riady sent...
...fact that Baltimore, despite the extra costs of running an urban school system, spends less money per pupil than surrounding suburban counties do, echoing a comparison made in similar school-funding battles being waged from New Jersey to Alaska.

Nor do comparisons explain situations where schools spend more than they should. Last year, for example, Baltimore spent $125 million...
