Did you know there are 80 million young people under age 25 in the U.S.? That’s nearly one-third of the population. Even more, that they spend or influence the spending of $1 trillion year in this $10 trillion economy? Or that young people today spend 5 times more money—adjusted for inflation—than their parents did at the same age?

Jonathan Kozol’s Ordinary Resurrections: Children In The Years Of Hope
by Merri Rosenberg
Much has been made in recent months of the problem of fiscal inequality in school spending. No matter who raises the issue—parents, educators, school reformers, or politicians—the concept that spending $5,200 on a child in the South Bronx, while a Great Neck child receives up to $18,000 on his education, makes any sense is difficult to reconcile.

Imre Kertész—Nobelist in Literature, 2000
by Lillian Shapiro
His writing appears to be even and calm but as the writing proceeds it becomes more difficult to accept in that way. What he tells us has been inspired by a sentence made by someone who was at a meeting that he was attending. This man said, “Auschwitz cannot be explained.” Kertész has written a trilogy of which the first two, Fateless and Kaddish for a Child Not Born are in print in English. The third, Fiasco, has yet to be translated and I look forward to seeing it here. These novels are written to contradict that observation and emphasize that not only can it be explained but it must be explained.
