Crony Capitalism in the Classroom (Sep 30 2003 00:55 GMT) - Edison Schools, that purported alternative to government-run education, has just been bailed out by the government.

We have played at the Bronco Bowl, which sounds awful, we have played at the Dallas Majestic Theater, which I enjoyed...and tonight the Gypsy Tea Room in Deep Ellum. The Gypsy Tea Room is a club and there is no room for our sound and lights. |
