'Tis the Season to Run for President

Monday, November 26, 2007

The holiday season is in full swing—and so are the primaries. Time Magazine political analyst Mark Halperin has the latest in political news. Also: what impact will teaching English as a second language have on New York’s workforce? And on the anniversary of the shooting of Sean Bell, what has changed a year later? Finally, what are the holidays all about anyway (besides shopping)?
