Fifty years ago, great schools like the University of California and the City University of New York - as well as many state colleges - were tuition free.

Wish we could, and allow the Taliban or anybody else to reclaim that country. But what we must do is some progress in Iraq, where finally the Iraqi army, which has not been a particularly effective fighting force, retook Ramadi.

The middle class is shrinking. Who's standing up for me?
