Then, last month, a state audit of CRLS' technical arts courses found violations in practically every area, from curriculum to safety procedures. Unless those problems are fixed by this spring, the state could decertify Cambridge's programs...
...will come off - Senate Democrats may now be more reluctant to pick off another nominee, which would be good news for Ashcroft. But it could be bad news, too, because all the Democratic staffers can now concentrate their fire on him. Gale Norton is a secondary target right now.

Polls show that many Israelis right now are quite happy to withhold what Barak has offered...
