ADD THREE more zeroes to that magic 2000, and you've got 2,000,000. But unlike the much-celebrated new year, two million isn't a meaningless and arbitrary milestone. The Justice Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., estimates that sometime in the next few weeks, the United States will reach that milestone with the number of Americans behind bars.
WALLACE Stegner called it the "angle of repose." He was referring to the angle of an incline at which an object comes to rest without continuing to roll down. Stegner applied this metaphor to fictional characters in his Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel of the same title. He was describing the act of coming to rest, reflecting on life, and reconciling oneself with surrounding conditions and people. We could learn a lot from such a simple action.

But from the way the grocery store cashier is moving, the bread will go stale and the milk turn sour before you actually get through the checkout line.

MOST STUDENTS at this University would agree that more knowledge is better than less. After all, we are all pursuing a college education. But those in charge of public schools in the Commonwealth of Kentucky seem to disagree. By voting last week to remove the word "evolution" from its curriculum guidelines, the Kentucky State Department of Education demonstrated that it prefers its students to be less knowledgeable.
THERE are a few times in college when 58 percent is considered a great success. Organic Chemistry exams aside, there aren't many areas where this level of achievement is worthy of praise.
