Daley is at least partly to blame for the crisis. He had a habit of agreeing to generous labor settlements for teachers without knowing how he was going to pay for them. To some extent, he mortgaged the future of the schools to buy short-term labor peace. But he also had the muscle to keep the city going by prying additional aid out of the state legislature. Byrne will have to relearn some of Daley's lessons if the city that works is going to start working again...
...White House has been mulling over new initiatives that would cut imports without the need for congressional action. Proponents and opponents of various measures can agree on one key point: the U.S. has rarely had a better opportunity, or more need, to take energy action. Year after year, that action has been impeded by debate over which groups in the population, which regions of the country, should make the largest economic and environmental sacrifices. After Caracas, it was clear that unless the U.S. accepts some compromises that will cut its consumption of precious petroleum, the OPEC cartel will simply regroup...
...tenure, will be grouped in departments administered by a pool of professors and two elected students. The law also takes aim at another hallowed institution on the other side: the "eternal" students, who by the old rules, could take-and fail -the same exam three times a year without being drummed out.

...well be that my generation -the people born between 1935 and 1940 -will be the last to remember what a truly disinterested museum visit was like. Quite simply, it is now difficult and, for most people, impossible to walk into a gallery and look at a work of art without its "value"-which means simply price, real or hypothetical-intruding on their reflections. After Velazquez's Juan de Pareja was bought at auction for New York's Metropolitan Museum for $5.5 million in 1970, the then director of the Met insisted, in his usual peppy, overbearing fashion, that...
...listeners into serenity, now rising to majestic sincerity in stately cadences that overwhelm as much with their sound as with their meaning. Taylor says that for him a sermon is a journey. "I like to start with a cool introduction to suggest what I'm going to say, without giving away the secret." But when the secret is out and the climax is reached, the key biblical phrase that Taylor wants no one to forget is engraved in the congregation's memory...
