...Canada is more than just a giant neighbor; it is also a good neighbor, and its hardiness appeals to America's nostalgia for its own frontier days. Japan's emergence as an economic superpower is more than just a testament to the U.S.'s benevolence as a victor in war and a partner in peace; it is the result of hard work, ingenuity and entrepreneurship, qualities that Americans esteem...
...Jewish baker, Kossoff grew up in the East End of London.

That less than one-third know when the Civil War occurred? That in a recent ABC-TV-sponsored survey of 200 teenagers, less than half could identify Daniel Ortega (President of Nicaragua) and two-thirds were ignorant of Chernobyl (one guessed it was Cher's real name). Five years after A Nation at Risk prompted a flurry of reform, average scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) have risen 11 points. Still, as recently...
