...behind" seems to miss a larger point. Like many other poor urban schools, Coliseum is chronically short of textbooks, computers and supplies, not to mention experienced teachers. Many such schools spend less per pupil than schools in surrounding suburbs despite having more high-need kids. Bush knows this is wrong: he waged a worthy but losing fight in Texas to rejigger school funding in 1997. Thus far he's been mum about such injustice on the stump. Nor does he say that as Head Start improves, it will need cash to reach beyond the 40% of eligible preschoolers...
Sumner Redstone has done his last big deal. Probably. This year anyway. Oh, heck, at least before our next issue hits the stands. That seems safe. He keeps saying he's done, hedging ever so slightly, and then proving himself wrong. It's either a rare lapse of vision for this self-made billionaire or the grandest ongoing head fake in the entertainment industry...
Video games are for kids. Teenagers maybe. Right? But harried parents don't want to waste time sitting slack-jawed in front of Donkey Kong, Super Mario or even Gran Turismo. Wrong. After 20 minutes with NFL 2K, the premier game for Sega's new Dreamcast machine, I'm a convert. The football experience is totally realistic.

...Rowling acknowledges, Harry is on the brink of adolescence and will fall into that hormonal morass any day now. Harry and friends will notice, and do more than notice, members of the opposite sex, and the action starts in Book Four where they all fall in love with the wrong people. A foolishly smitten or moony Harry may challenge the devotion of the readers who admire his innocent, boyish virtues and unflappable dignity, except, perhaps, those readers who have grown into adolescents themselves...
...Slim Steelers (-2.5) over RAVENS. Having gone a Hondo-esque 5-10 and still vanquished his puny interoffice foes, L. I. Slim figures that if he dances with the ones that brung ?im, he can?t go wrong. Herewith the locks, the Steelers make it 2-0 against an underachieving Ravens squad, setting the stage for an unexpected rampage this year in the AFC Central. Kordell?s gonna be just fine...
