| Thu, 29 Sep 2005 12:00:00 EST Chris Whittle: still thinking big |
| No one doubts that Chris Whittle has lived a remarkable life. In 1991, after a long and successful stint as the head of his own communications company, the brash media baron announced that he would use his millions to radically reshape the nation's underperforming public school system. Over the next five years, he announced, his new company, Edison Schools, would build 1,000 for-profit schools. The project would cost $2.5 billion. The public education establishment scoffed; reformers grimaced and hoped for the best. |

| Thu, 29 Sep 2005 12:00:00 EST The fifth column's antiwar protest |
| The best piece on the weekend shenanigans in D.C. was by Christopher Hitchens, writing in Slate ("Anti-War, My Foot–the Phony Peaceniks Who Protested in Washington"). His point is that antiwar is the wrong word. The organizers are actually pro-war. They just want the other side to win. International ANSWER, one of the two groups supporting the demonstration, is run by the Workers World Party, which backs Kim Jong Il, Fidel Castro, Slobodan Milosevic, and the "resistance" in Afghanistan and Iraq. The WWP applauded the Soviet invasion of Hungary and China's massacre in Tiananmen Square. The main reason these people keep comparing Bush to Hitler is that Der Fuhrer is the only well-known fascist not approved of by ANSWER. |
