Reason Foundation analysts William Eggers and John O'Leary spent two years traveling America's political frontier, taking the nation's political pulse. They heard a single message: "To forge a better society we need to make government dramatically smaller, more efficient, and closer to the people it is intended to serve." More importantly, they met many revolutionaries who are doing just that. In "Revolution at the Roots, " you'll find out not just what's wrong with American government, but how Americans can fix it.
With engaging and witty style, the authors chronicle scores of exciting examples of those pushing the boundaries of radical change. You'll meet the new breed of political leaders who are shaking up the status quo, from governors such as New Jersey's Christine Todd Whitman and Wisconsin's Tommy Thompson to California's Pete Wilson. You'll also meet the big-city mayors, Democrat and Republican alike, who are standing up to entrenched interests and shrinking bureaucracies.
But it is America's people, not her politicians, who are truly the driving force for change. You'll hear the story of James Chapman, the Indianapolis cab driver who fought City Hall -- and won. You'll learn why Sister Connie Driscoll, who runs a Chicago homeless shelter, won't accept government funds. You'll read about the gray-haired citizen volunteers who assist with San Diego's pathbreaking community policing program.
Big Government is on the way out, and something must replace it. Eggers and O'Leary lay out common-sense principles for bringing the state back to the people:
Focus on core functions
Devolve power to communities and individuals
Radically decentralize
Embrace competition
Set limits on government growth
They go on to show how these principles can improve government's response to the major issues of our time, from crime to welfare, from education to the economy.
The future of America can be found beyond the Beltway, where fresh ideas are renewing America's great democratic experiment. The positive, practical vision of "Revolution at the Roots" is the road map to better government that America is searching for as it approaches the 21st century. [via]

If you're a 17-year-old, or his or her parents, desperately trying to find objective information, try The Times Good University Guide based on The Times's league tables published annually since 1992. This is especially useful now that there are no official government league tables to enable you to compare higher education institutions.
The Guide ranks the top 100 universities from Oxford to Thames Valley in terms of teaching assessment, graduate destinations, efficiency and other criteria in a user-friendly table. Then you can look up the subject you want to study and read a double page spread about each university--including statistics, contact details and miscellaneous information. There's useful guidance about application procedures and accommodation too. Armed with the knowledge that Glasgow Caledonian "has spent £350 million transforming previously mediocre facilities into a single campus that does justice to a modern university of 14,00 students", or that Nottingham, second only to Cambridge in the number of subjects rated for teaching at the highest level, has 14,315 undergraduate students and 8.9 applicants per place, you really are in a good position to decide where to apply.
It is difficult to see how anyone could make a realistic university application without studying John O'Leary's handy annual guide, although it' s a pity it wasn't proof-read more thoroughly. --Susan Elkin [via]

The 11th annual edition of The Times Good University Guide impartially compares Britain's 102 universities and ranks many of the 50,000 different courses available.
Choosing a university and making an application has become a minefield of colossal proportions because Britain now has two million university students, 10 times as many as in the 1960s. Are you are in a school or college whose teaching staff are less than well-informed about higher education, the pleasures, pitfalls and extraordinarily wide range? This remains regrettably common despite government confidence that soon 50 per cent of all school leavers will be bound for uni. Try as a substitute The Times Good University Guide 2003 which includes statistical data about teaching standards, students numbers, classes of degree awarded, finance and accommodation.
At the heart of The Times Good University Guide is an alphabetical listing of universities. It follows a ranking of universities according to the subjects they teach best (or worst). Durham, for example tops the league table for Physics, whilst Warwick is rated highest for sociology. A double page is devoted to each university detailing its history, track record, perceived status, drop out rate, recruitment numbers from state schools and an interesting overview.
Careful inclusion of addresses, Web sites, e-mail details and phone numbers means that the reader can use the Guide as an information springboard before obtaining prospectuses and other details about specific universities and courses that he or she is interested in. Also listed are contact details for Higher Education providers which are not universities and information about relevant organisations such as ECCTIS, the online Higher Education database.--Susan Elkin [via]
