Via email from Color of Change:

LaVena Johnson was a 19 year old private in the Army, serving in Iraq, when she was raped, murdered, and her body was burned&#8211;by someone from her own military base. Despite overwhelming physical evidence, the Army called her death a suicide and has closed the case.
For three years, LaVena&#8217;s parents [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=therevolver.wordpress.com&blog=462301&post=71&subd=therevolver&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

What a difference a half-century makes.  Eleven years after NASA was founded to prevent Soviet dominance of outer space, man was walking on the Moon.  One might&#8217;ve thought we would continue on from there to Mars, the asteroids, and, as posited in various sci fi series from the 1960&#8217;s such [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=therevolver.wordpress.com&blog=462301&post=67&subd=therevolver&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I suspect that the overall consensus among post-tech boom college grads is that a bachelor&#8217;s degree is not enough.  It certainly is the case in my circle of friends and classmates, which has recently become overpopulated with lawyers, although MBA&#8217;s, doctors, Ph.D.&#8217;s, and those of us pursuing other types of master&#8217;s degrees with an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=therevolver.wordpress.com&blog=462301&post=65&subd=therevolver&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A tip of the hat to one of my managers for flagging this story.
It&#8217;s always seemed common sense to me that small children shouldn&#8217;t watch television.  You should be playing with them; letting them marvel at really cool mobiles; talking to them in depth about existentialism, American football, and Thundercats; reading to them, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=therevolver.wordpress.com&blog=462301&post=61&subd=therevolver&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Not every project was like Cabrini-Green. Dixie Homes was a complex of two- and three-story brick buildings on grassy plots. It was, by all accounts, claustrophobic, sometimes badly maintained, and occasionally violent. But to its residents, it was, above all, a community. Every former resident I spoke to mentioned one thing: the annual Easter-egg hunt.

Those who follow the plight of people of color in the United States, the Americas, or the world, really, should be pretty familiar with the fight to stop the US Navy from practice bombing at Vieques, Puerto Rico.  Eventually notables such as Edward James Olmos and Al Sharpton were arrested in protest, and Sharpton [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=therevolver.wordpress.com&blog=462301&post=53&subd=therevolver&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As a student of public policy, it&#8217;s of particular interest to see a true experimental design done on an issue as near and dear to my heart as education.  As my friend Dr. Marvel tells it, they&#8217;re not cheap  to do.
So it was with real excitement that I read about the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=therevolver.wordpress.com&blog=462301&post=7&subd=therevolver&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
