...recent years, civil rights leaders have awakened belatedly to the toll of AIDS among black Americans, who now account for more than half of the new cases of HIV infection in the U.S. But for all their kente-cloth shawls and lavish Kwanza celebrations, only a handful of African-American leaders, such as Julian Bond of the N.A.A.C.P., philosopher Cornel West and former Congressman Ron Dellums, along with a few church and charitable organizations, have aggressively addressed the disaster in Africa.

The Chicago experiment will therefore be closely watched. A smaller program initiated in New York City last year, in which mathematics teachers were brought in from Austria, is getting high marks and was expanded this year. If the Chicago program shows similar success, educators expect Congress to adapt a wide-scale recruitment plan...
...most recent game, the Crimson fell 72-63 to Northeastern despite leading by as much as seven points in the second half. Besides the gaping hole in the offense, the Crimson's other problems seem to be a lack of stamina in a young rotation...
