Defense Secretary Rumsfeld visited Moldova near Romania and Ukraine to thank its small force for Iraq service and urge continued NATO Partnership for Peace participation. The trip highlighted Moldova’s fragile independence from Russia, with Moscow backing Transdniestria and seeking to keep troops.

Obits Juxtapose Two Distinguished Lives Across The Page
Zev Chafets notes the unlikely pairing of Danny Dark and Stuart Hampshire on the obituary page. Hampshire, English moral philosopher and Princeton chair, and Dark, American voice actor known for StarKist’s Charlie the Tuna, shared a page fate but likely never met. The column muses on fame, placement, and the democratic reach of obituaries.

A forthcoming Cato Institute study argues that higher federal education spending does not boost student achievement. Neal McCluskey notes that U S funding rose from about 25 billion in 1965 to over 108 billion in 2002, yet math and reading scores stagnated and graduation rates declined.

Federal role in education a failing, costly burden
The piece argues that federal control over education has grown while outcomes stay poor, citing a Cato study showing no link between spending and poverty reduction. It notes 1965 and 2002 federal expenditures across six top agencies, laments minimal program removals, and condemns No Child Left Behind as a one size fits all approach. It urges returning funding and authority to states and local communities.
