I’ve seen the unannounced casualties of the Ukraine war

There's obviously no official solution to these animals' plight, but I've come up with a modest solution of my own. I suggested that each member of my brigade adopt one small furry life to take home, and most have agreed.

Bob Neal: The Countryman: Taking the easy way out — yet again

To put all schools on equal footing, we would need a core of teachers devoted to boot-strapping kids likely to have a tough time of it in school. Maine could offer, say, college scholarships for future teachers who agree to teach in low-performing schools.
