The Doonesbury Daily Briefing (http://www.doonesbury.com/media/dailybriefing/index.cfm)
First, yes, I endorse the above website heartily. Doonesbury (http://www.doonesbury.com) has long been a source of both amusement and enlightenment to me. Senators have freely admitted--it makes a great sound bite--that if they want to know which way the wind blows, they read Doonesbury every morning.
Nonetheless, from the November 28, 2002 Daily Briefing:
• "Children attending public schools deemed failing under a new federal law have to be offered transfers to better schools, regardless of whether those schools are already full," according to final regulations released on Tuesday by the Education Department," the New York Times reports.
Turns out it's a fair-sized article. I'm still reading through it. I'd link y'all to it, but even Doonesbury's link required (free) registration. I've emailed myself the thing, so there's always that.
But it seems to be about what it sounds like.
• "As the AIDS epidemic enters its third decade, for the first time women account for about half of all infected adults," the Los Angeles Times reports.
(I skipped the LA Times registration for that article.)
• "The Defense Department is seeking an extra $10 billion a year for the next five years, beyond the growth in its regular budget, to carry out its campaign against terrorism," the New York Times reports.
It's about what it sounds.
But that's the news, with Roland Hedley (http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/thecast/html/roland.htm).
The Daily Briefing is, as its name implies, daily.
Enjoy.
thanx,
