Michael Hiltzik -- Something sounded familiar last week when I heard U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski make a huge pitch for infusing digital technology into America's classrooms.

Criticizing (common criticisms of) praise

The issue I have in mind is praise. I’m troubled by it, as are the people who quote me, but for very different reasons. So I thought I’d try to set the record straight even if the result is that I antagonize some folks who seem to regard me as an ally.

Governors' speeches reflect states' cautious mood

nitajo sumitted ago via http://www.boston.com (Views: 31, Clicks: 4)

Glimmers of economic optimism. Deep concerns about jobs and health care costs. These are among the recurring themes as governors across the nation deliver their annual State of the State addresses. And the speeches have this in common, too: a striking absence of grand and costly proposals.
