		<description><![CDATA[From Tom Dispatch
By William Astore
Hardly a week goes by without dire headlines about the failure of the American education system. Our students don&#8217;t perform well in math and science. The high-school dropout rate is too high. Minority students are falling behind. Teachers are depicted as either overpaid drones protected by tenure or underpaid saints at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From The NY Times
By Thomas L. Friedman
Speaking of financial crises and how they can expose weak companies and weak countries, Warren Buffett once famously quipped that “only when the tide goes out do you find out who is not wearing a bathing suit.” So true. But what’s really unnerving is that America appears to be [...]]]></description>

A few months ago, Bobby Stapleton, a 21-year-old student at the University of Michigan, received a phone call from his younger brother. The good news came first: a senior in high school, he, too, had been accepted by the university, the fourth sibling in his family to have the opportunity to [...]]]></description>

By Lois Romano
He may have tanked his tryout for the Boston Celtics, but as President Obama&#8217;s education secretary, Arne Duncan has hit the jackpot: an unprecedented $100 billion at his disposal to try to turn around the nation&#8217;s public schools. The 44-year-old career education administrator is juggling a lot of balls as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
By Cynthia Tucker
“Made in the USA” doesn’t have the international cachet it once had. James Bond turned in his Aston Martin for a BMW, not a Cadillac. Your beloved flat-screen TV was probably manufactured in mainland China, like your kids’ toys. Your children’s clothes? Probably made in India.
But there’s one product made [...]]]></description>

Jane Lubchenco&#8217;s tenure at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be a good place to gauge how much lost ground can be reclaimed for science. Her appointment by President-elect Obama to run the administration will be particularly interesting since NOAA is under the Department of Commerce, which will [...]]]></description>

The multiple failures that beset the country, from our mismanaged economy to our shredded constitutional rights to our lack of universal health care to our imperial debacles in the Middle East, can be laid at the feet of our elite universities. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford, along with most other elite schools, [...]]]></description>

By Derrick Z. Jackson
More spectacular than finally seeing GM, Ford, and Chrysler grovel before Congress would be watching the nation&#8217;s college presidents on bended knee. Shaming auto execs out of corporate jets and into hybrids should be a mere prelude to defanging the campus gargoyles, ripping down the ivy, and cutting through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From The Nation
By Katrina Vanden Heuvel
In 2007, over 37 million Americans, or 12.5 percent of the US population, lived below the federal poverty line&#8211;$21,200 for a family of four (well below the income truly required to make ends meet in our economy.) And now, as we head into this deepening recession, we&#8217;re looking at a [...]]]></description>
