US and Mexico push to expand student exchanges
Andres Oppenheimer reports that Obama and Mexican President Pena Nieto agreed to a Bilateral Forum on Higher Education to accelerate exchanges. Mexico plans to quadruple Mexican students in U S colleges to 40 000 50 000 by 2017, while the United States would welcome more Mexican and Latin American students under the 100 000 Strong in the Americas plan. The idea mirrors Europe’s Erasmus and Bologna plans to boost cross border degrees and collaboration, potentially strengthening NAFTA era ties and North American economic integration.

Kochs eyed as owners spark exodus from LA Times
Cal Thomas argues Koch brothers could buy the Los Angeles Times to shift coverage and win back readers and advertisers. He cites staff surveys showing many would quit, urges hiring reporters to deliver ideologically balanced coverage, notes industry declines and Pew and Washington Post figures on audience loss and profits. He concludes that Koch money could revitalize a failing paper.
