...slings and arrows of outrageous fortune may have gotten a little weird for George W. Bush Thursday night, as fellow Republican presidential candidates cast him as a blend of Marie Antoinette and a Southern plantation owner - all in the course of a genteel policy exchange. Blue-blood publisher Steve Forbes led the charge, accusing the Texas governor of "betraying" Americans with his tax plan and proposals to consider raising the retirement age.

A federal panel reported Thursday that each of the six national education goals President Bush set in 1990 for the year 2000 will go unmet. Still, there was some noticeable improvement from kids at the youngest age. As it turns out, throwing money at the problem of fulfilling Bush's goal that kids enter kindergarten ready to learn really did work. Even as the level of federal funding devoted to public education stagnated during the past decade, the amount invested in early childhood...
