First, voters should compare the two plans based on how much money each candidate is proposing to spend. It is true that all of our educational problems cannot be solved by money alone, but how much money a candidate squeezes into his budget for which policy goals is a good indication of his priorities. Gore would increase federal spending on our public schools by 50 percent, or $115 billion over 10 years, the single biggest expansion in a generation. Bush only proposes an additional $13.5 billion in spending over five years, less than one-fortieth the amount he wants...
There are many benign dictators who could make America an abstractly "happier" place--and do so on a time scale our legislature couldn't begin to imagine. One cannot look around the world and guess which countries are "free" simply from their recent policy choices...

The injustice faced here is one that individuals all over the world must confront: How do we hold large multinational corporations--some of them richer and more powerful than entire countries--accountable for their actions?

...attorney. "He died of positional and compressional asphyxia." The autopsy found traces of marijuana and cocaine in his system, but not enough to explain his outburst, Spence says. Though the coroner ruled the death a homicide because Burton died at the hands of others, federal prosecutors say they cannot prove criminal intent. Yet many questions remain: What was wrong with Jonathan Burton? Was his killing a horrible accident or a case of vigilante malice? And what are the lessons for airlines dealing with the growing incidence of air rage? "The question to ask is whether the flight attendants attempted...
