Marshall Plans
From today’s New York Times:
“A city-financed report by Ms. Rice released Friday said Los Angeles needed a ‘Marshall plan’ to address gang violence in light of a growth in gang membership and a lack of a comprehensive strategy to curb the problem.”
and, in a second unrelated article:
“A coalition of community groups is calling for the city Department of Education to develop a ‘Marshall Plan for middle-grade schools,’ saying that all too often, the sixth through eighth grades become ‘pathways to failure.’”
Heck, maybe what we really need is a plain old Marshall Plan.
