Carl P Leubsdorf reports that Senator Dole faces a tough line in differentiating himself from Clinton on Iraq. He has to avoid political posturing while backing decisive action against Saddam Hussein, a stance shaped by past meetings and votes.

It questions why over 300 schools tested too few students, urges fixes if reporting errors occurred, and stresses the need for 100 percent accurate and credible results for children's benefit.
