I couldn't help but respond to G.Camfield's presumably hyperbolic rhetorical question here--Does this mean that we are now to pay children for the work they do at school?--by saying that I heard today that N. Gingrich's ed. plan calls for exactly that--paying students for reading books. I think I heard that--on PBS this morning. Or was I only having a nightmare? And, has anyone seen Pleasantville, the movie? The highlight for us on this list, and really the most exciting scene in the movie, is the one in which a book used to show how (Americans') minds can be opened--and what book is it?? _Adv. of Huck. Finn_. Terry Oggel
