...Aryans' leader seems shaken by that prospect. Since the suit was filed last year, Butler has been soliciting support from fellow racists: five producers of "white-power" music recordings are donating proceeds from sales of titles like Holocaust 2000. Butler says he's at least $60,000 in debt, from fighting "Morris the sleaze with his Jew faggots...
...gallery of South African patriots. I shall remember Harry as a man of exquisite grace and charm, a person with a simplicity and directness that was disarming in its spontaneity, and one who was accessible way beyond what was assumed about a person in his position.

Recent studies detailed the soaring test scores among black students who used vouchers to enroll in private schools, and among California immigrants after that state required they be taught only in English. Despite noisy protest rallies in Massachusetts and Virginia last spring, support for high-stakes testing remains strong. In a new poll for the Business Roundtable, 68% of those surveyed say students should pass statewide tests to graduate; 75% think that even elementary schoolers should have to do so to progress on to the next grade.
