...into the middle class, "and private schools are undoubtedly part of that story," says Geoff Mulgan, head of the Young Foundation and previously head of Blair's Policy Unit. "They've become an even more powerful part of élite formation and reproduction." Reports released by the Sutton Trust show that the privately educated retain a powerful, indeed growing, hold on many influential jobs. Even though they educate only 7% of secondary-school children, private schools are responsible for 68% of barristers, 42% of top politicians and 54% of leading journalists. Critics believe the escape hatch private schools give...
JAMES BAMFORD Author of A Pretext for War: 9/11, Iraq, and the Abuse of America's Intelligence Agencies I far more trust the press than I do the Administration with judgment of what should be secret and what shouldn't.

One jihadist contact says al-Zarqawi had a growing sense that he couldn't trust those around him. He took to mimicking the habits of the Prophet Muhammad recorded in Muslim texts, including the way he brushed his teeth and wore his sandals. Lacking formal religious training, he prayed incessantly and consulted frequently with religious advisers--attempts, perhaps, to shed his murderous past and reinvent himself...
...Fast-forward one year. You pass [outspoken critic and Weary Professor of Germanic Language and Literature] Judith Ryan in the halls of the Barker Center. What happens? LHS: I hope and trust we’re all looking forwards, not backwards. History judges us all not on what we were against, but on what we were for. I hope all of us in the University will find a way to provide a much better experience than we have in the past for the undergraduates who are both the lost children and the lifeblood of great research universities...
