...What is the role of government? We don?t all see eye-to-eye that that one either. Many here were disappointed to hear Secretary Thompson stress personal responsibility over government leadership. They were disappointed that his department?s initiatives were mainly small, low-budget steps, such as underfunded PSA programs, rather than big well-funded actions. And we just heard that there?s only a pathetic $2.7 million budget behind the department responsible for giving us the U.S. Dietary Guidelines and Food Pyramid program...
...channel was "essentially a translation service for Chinese-language programs," Terenzio says. But CCTV International did have one small advantage: the English-language broadcaster is unintelligible to most Chinese, so its journalists enjoy slightly more reporting leeway.

The answer most high- school juniors and sophomores would probably give to this one is d, and they wouldn’t be wrong. Indeed, the stress and confusion is just going to get worse as the College Board introduces their new SAT next January, containing a written section similar...
