As for the 2nd question, WE CAN'T trust them. If Newt Gingrich has his way, I forsee a "vast wasteland" such as that which Newton Minnow spoke of 35 years ago. I really don't think education will be on their agenda unless it would bring in the max profit--which it doesn't. Hard Copy and Geraldo does. But then again I am a pessimist and a cynic.
