...teacher in the upscale Atlanta suburb of Lilburn, she says her problem students have one thing in common: detached parents. Bean's efforts to get their mothers and fathers to attend back-to-school night, help out with research papers or even return her phone calls are often in vain. Those same parents are usually no-shows even at the Little League games that her family frequents. "We end up giving the same kids, who live in beautiful homes, a ride home every night," she says.

His group meets in secret - much to the chagrin of Democrats, who were attacked by the opposition when Hillary Clinton's infamous health-care task force operated behind closed doors. Hillary tried in vain to sort the winners from the losers in health care. In the Fossil Fuel Club, everyone's a winner...
...over the proposals. And to be sure, Israel - like the Palestinians - has plenty of cause for skepticism over the plan. Indeed, it's hard to avoid seeing the latest proposals from Amman and Cairo as a warmed-over version of the cease-fire President Clinton tried desperately, and in vain, to broker last October at Sharm el-Sheikh. Except that much has changed in the region since last October...
