There are, of course, disadvantages too. A growing number of teachers in Catholic parochial schools are lay men and women who are less experienced, younger and lower paid than their public school counterparts. And there is the cost. The mean annual tuition for a U.S. Catholic high school comes to $1,680 -- a considerable stretch for many inner-city parents. "They simply do without in order to send the kids here," says Sister Patricia Clune of Atlanta's St. Anthony's School. "We offer a disciplined environment and quality education in the religious setting the parents want...
...Ching-kuo of Taiwan was so unlike his famous father that he hardly resembled him at all. While Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was wiry, aloof and dictatorial, his son was rotund, jovial and pragmatic. The elder Chiang fielded armies against both the Japanese and Mao Zedong's Communists. The younger, though bearing the nominal rank of general, never saw action on the battlefield. Yet after the Nationalists fled the mainland, it was the son who helped transform the father's defeat into victory.

...from the paper. One featured the experiences of three Hazelwood students who had become pregnant; the second dealt with the impact of parental divorce on students. Though the girls in the first piece were given pseudonyms, Reynolds believed that they were identifiable, that the article was too frank for younger students and that its overall picture of teenage pregnancy was too positive (sample quote: "This experience has made me a more responsible person. I feel that now I am a woman"). In the second article, a student complained that her father was "always out of town on business...
Some of these traditional attitudes are rooted in a simple yet alarming demographic reality: Iowa's population is getting smaller and older. Since 1980 the state has lost 80,000 people, many of them younger workers who could not find jobs in a troubled farm-based economy. A University of Iowa study of recent graduates found that less than half continued to live within the state. "It scares me that Iowa is losing population," said Vern Harvey, a Bettendorf builder, after a recent Kemp rally in nearby Davenport. Replied Pete Agnew, an accountant in his late 30s: "People I know...
