...works the graveyard shift as a nurse's aide, enrolled her four kids in Paramount Academy on word of mouth alone. They lasted one year and learned so little that all four repeated their grades at their new school--another charter that came highly recommended but is no award winner. "Even if the charter schools are terrible, I wouldn't put my kids back in public school," she says. "I just have this feeling they're safer in charters.

Like cardinals sequestered to vote for a new pope, the 122 members of the International Olympic Committee will lock themselves into a conference room in the World Trade Center in Moscow on July 13 and not leave until white smoke rises to proclaim a winner from among five candidate cities: Beijing, Istanbul, Osaka, Paris and Toronto. While the voting takes only a day, cities campaign for years to be selected. After all, this is about much more than prestige.
