Colleagues:

In today's Times (available free online for 24 hours)--

"When Bob Dylan came first on the scene it was very possible for a young man 
or young woman with energy and a dream and a high school diploma (or less) to 
actually build a decent life.   That's pretty much over."

and

"Nationally, just two thirds of all students--and only half of all blacks and 
Latinos--who enter ninth grade actually graduate with regular diplomas four 
years later."
