...morning last winter, a first-grader named Elizabeth awoke with a nasty cough. While she took her prescribed asthma medication, her mother reviewed their options. Neither parent could stay home that day. Elizabeth's mother had to be in the lab, and her father was out of town on business. School was risky: although she didn't feel sick and wasn't contagious, Elizabeth sounded sick, and her mother knew from experience that the nurse would probably call for a pickup just before dismissal time...
...only fitting that the only magazine left last Sunday evening in the free magazine rack outside the Delta shuttle at Logan was the official magazine of the Republican National Committee. There were at least a dozen copies of the Winter 2000 issue, in fact, stacked up in a large pile--clearly not a big seller in the bastion of liberal thought that is our hometown...

We're running trippy TV ads. Hey, we even have revenue! We just have to work hard, Karl insists...
Whenever possible, inspections should be announced and conducted with students present. Obviously, this is not possible during winter break. But if searches are conducting during the term, the FDO should make reasonable efforts in this area. One possible option would be to require inspectors to make several rounds of door-knocking, skipping rooms where nobody answers. If inspectors let themselves into only those rooms that have not been searched after several attempts, the number of empty room searches (or out-of-the-shower embarrassments) could be minimized...
