Here’s my book review in Sunday’s paper. It’s of The Shame of the Nation, Jonathan Kozol’s luridly-subtitled new book. Have already gotten a few emails calling parts of my review “insulting,” which makes me think I’m doing my job.
I’ve forgotten to link to several of my stories recently. No worldbeaters in the bunch, but for the record: Baylor delays vote on chief, Wilmer-Hutchins High to house hurricane evacuees, and Houston, D/FW districts relaxing admission rules.

I hope the evacuees at Camp Wilmer-Hutchins won't be needing to use any TVs or VCRs. I believe I saw (former) employees loading those into the trunks of their cars on the evening news a while back. Shame, shame.
