Another Week
-The majority of Judges on 10 of the nation's 13 appeals courts were appointed by Republican presidents (The Christian Science Monitor)
That's interesting, but not surprising. There has been a Democratic presidency for only eight of the last 25 years.
-Of the 300,000 high school students who took the new SAT last month, just 107 achieved a perfect score of 2400 (AP)
That seems like a very low percentage, maybe too low. What it means is debatable. Either the new test is harder or the old test was too easy or kids aren't as well taught as times past.
In Italy, 97% of the population describe themselves as Catholic, but only 30% attend Mass weekly. In France, only 5% attend church every week. More Europeans, in fact, attend soccer matches on Sunday than Mass (Newsday)
5%?
