...children with more disposable income. Working-class parents could begin to send their children to private or parochial schools. The voucher system proposed by the Republicans would be far more expensive than the Libertarian proposal and less effective, because public schools with good reputations would soon become overcrowded and sub-standard. By giving more parents the means to provide their children with private educations, public schools would soon improve from more manageable student populations...
...choice of songs was largely excellent, including standards and some interesting sub-standards, like the Gershwin self-parody "Blah Blah Blah" and Leonard Bernstein's pattersong "I Can Cook Too." "Blah Blah Blah" particularly allowed deLima to camp it up, leading the audience in a sing-along while capering to the absurd lyrics. (The screen on which the lyrics were projected was a nice touch, too.) As for the four Sondheim songs, including three in a row at the end, they were not too big a price to pay for the rest -- which is saying quite...
...Korean Sang-O class, 325-ton boat, and it was jammed onto a reef, rolling helplessly in the surf. Lee's discovery touched off one of postwar South Korea's biggest manhunts as tens of thousands of troops pursued up to 26 North Koreans who had been aboard the sub.

In separate clashes with North Koreans, three South Korean soldiers were killed...
...Kwang Soo at first refused to talk, saying his family in the North would suffer for it. Then, after downing a few drinks of soju, the local gin, he became voluble but also contradictory. According to his latest account, Lee was a member of the crew of the sub, which left North Korean waters on Sept. 14 with seven infiltrators and 19 crew. Their mission, he says, was to spy on an airport, radar installations and civilian preparedness. On Sept. 15 they put three men ashore to observe the Kangnung airport while the sub cruised back and forth along...
...Seoul and its ally, the U.S., the sub is an intelligence prize: very little is known about the primitive North Korean subs that patrol the coast, and the Pentagon may now learn how to track their acoustic signatures. Still, South Korea is rightly protesting this raid as a violation of the armistice and the spirit of the post-cold war times. Some Koreans wonder whether President Kim Jong Il has a firm grip on things in the North or if his military might be getting out of hand. Analysts say it's more like business as usual. Pyongyang refused...
