...deride a centrist Republican and veteran for his rejection of your outlandish brand of conservatism but in the same breath you trivialize and mock the heroes who bravely fought against the tide of Nazism, something the “true conservative” you seek would never do. Of course, every argument can be reduced to comparisons with Hitler; most people just have the integrity and good sense not to do so. I would imagine that the Nazis enjoyed hunting, but I have not yet heard even the most dyed-in-the-wool liberals use this fact as an argument...
...helping them build and refine their skills and learn from one another. To do this, TAP teachers meet in small groups led by a master teacher for one to two hours a week, generally during the school day. That degree of supervision can be a tough sell to veteran teachers. "I hated it tooth and nail," says Cathy Dailey, who has been teaching science at Bell Street Middle School in Clinton, S.C., for 21 years. "All of a sudden I had to articulate my goals and know that someone was going to come in and watch me." Dailey particularly disliked...

We are a veteran team and we know how to step it up.” Harvard certainly picked up the pace, going on a 22-8 run following the timeout. Suddenly the Bulldogs (5-13, 3-2) had no way of slowing down the Crimson offense. Freshman Emma Markley came off the bench...
...they jogged off the court. They knew, though, that coach Kathy Delaney-Smith would have some more serious words for them in the locker room. Describing the first half with “a word I can’t use in print,” the 25-year veteran coach sent out a second-half team humbled and ready to establish itself as the team to beat in the Ivy League. Harvard (12-8, 5-1 Ivy) led the sorry Bears (1-19, 0-6) by only four at halftime before pulling away in the second half, turning...
