Republicans As Red Sox The 1995 government shutdown reduced the importance of GOP control of Congress By George F. Will newsweek.com (EXERPT) from page 2 Republicans have no stomach for serious arguments about education, such as whether the best predictor of a school's performance is the sum spent on it--whether financial inputs guarantee cognitive outputs. (If they did, the District of Columbia's schools would be the nation's best rather than the worst.) Clinton's top priority is a $1.1 billion down payment on hiring 100,000 new teachers. His political purpose is to please teachers by reducing their workload, please teachers' unions by increasing their membership and increase union contributions to Democrats. The policy's purpose is to improve educational performance by reducing pupil-teacher ratios in classrooms. However, the national average was more than 30 students per classroom in the 1950s; today it is 22. But while class sizes have been shrinking, scores on tests measuring student cognition have been declining.

ZOLTAN UNVEILED! (*ALL IN FUNALL IN FUNALL IN FUN) Ladies and Gentlemen, quite by chance, I have stumbled upon a clue to Zoltan's secret identity!! He is from ZOLTAN, a beachball in a dark corner of outer space! seabury.pvt.k12.hi.us As you can see, the inhabitants of ZOLTAN (as of the neighboring beachballs) are described as the "hired assassins of the universe." They are "intelligent," "cruel," and "precise." Does that sound right? The galaxy (?) in which these beachballs are all located has an Employment Office. Let us assume that our* "Zoltan" proceeded there, where he filled out the following application: seabury.pvt.k12.hi.us Assuming that he selected the profession of "hit man", which, of those offered, seems the most appropriate for a man of his temperament, he then went to the Assassination Department, to see what specific jobs were available: seabury.pvt.k12.hi.us Clicking on "targets of interest," to learn what "marks" are up for assassination, he found -- TA DA! -- the WOMANIZER! seabury.pvt.k12.hi.us (The other "mark" is one of Judge Bork's bugaboos! Guess who!) WELL?? Have we got you, Zoltan? :-) jbe
