Quote to note.
Spellings, Margaret
"The world is changing faster than ever, shrinking distances
and barriers between people. And the ramifications are felt across every
aspect of our society. For example, issues we have always put in a
domestic policy box, such as health care and education, have taken on
global dimensions. This is seen in our efforts to combat diseases such
as pandemic flu and AIDS and also our work to prepare students for a
world where what you know means far more than where you live."
--Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (10/26/06), delivering
remarks for DePauw University's Discourse 2006
