...seven of the eight Ivy League schools fall within a 2 percent range of each other. Further, a group of northeastern schools annually cite each others' price raises to justify pushing their own fees into the $19,000-range, far in excess of inflation.

In the West we need the faith and courage to admit the bitter truth, that our prosperity is based as much on cheap energy as on free markets. A long- postponed part of the payment for that energy and prosperity is coming due if we want to have any hope of dissuading the Chinese and the rest of the Third World...
