On November 16 , Trump met at his Manhattan tower with Eva Moskowitz, whose Success Academy charter network has achieved impressive results with children ofcolor across New York City. The fol- lowing weekend, he entertained Michelle Rhee, the former head of Washington, D. C. 's public schools, at his golf club in New Jersey. Despite her uneven results, Rhee remains popular with those whO think mcompetent teachers and the umons that protect them are holding back America's kids. lnstead, Trump chose Betsy DeVos tO head the Education Department, a federal agency with over- sight over all Ofthe nation s educational institutions, from prekindergarten programs t0 graduate sch001s of business. The choice mystified all those who d fig- ured Trump was looking for a capable, fotward-look- ing technocrat focused on student testing and teacher accountability. The chOice horrified te achers unlons, as DeVos is a billionaire RepubIican who has worked assiduously t0 weaken the public schools in Michigan. Comedian R0b Delaney tweeted, "Trump's pick ofDeVos as Sec. of Education is more hateful than pouring a vat Ofshit out Of a helicopter ontO a group Of 1St graders. " Crude as that sentiment may be, it reflects the prevalent perception—unfair, perhaps— that DeVos is unsuited to her post, having never worked in a school or a school district. Her nomina- tion is in keeping with Trump s apparent conviction that nothing fuels government work better than antipathy tO the government. DeVos would not be the first ideologue to head the Education Department:William Bennett, appointed by Ronald Reagan, was a conservative culture warrior nonpareil. George H.W. Bush's appoint- ments, R0d Paige and Margaret SpelIings, were Tex- ans whO shared his right-leaning, reformist vision Of education, as encapsulated by NO Child Left Behind. But ever smce the first education secretary—Shirley Hufstedler, appointed by Jimmy Carter to the new post in 1979—nearly every person t0 h01d that 0ffce has had direct experience in teaching or educational administration (tWO were governors WhO'd enacted large education reform measures). DeVOS, by contrast, is a professional activist. For decades, she has tried tO dictate what goes on in a classroom—without ever having worked in one. ・ C H R ー S T ' S A G E N T 0 ド R E N E W A し ' GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, has largely defined the life of the woman born in 1958 as EIisabeth Prince.

BY JESSICA WAPNER 当 @jessicawapner FOR MOST patients diagnosed with prostate can- cer, the course Of action iS clear. Some tumors reqture no immediate treatment. Others can be removed with surgery or radiation. And some reqture a more aggressive attack. However, for an estimated 30 percent of patients—about 54 , 000 men in the U. S. every year—the disease IS more erratic. Their so-called intermediate-risk tumors could grow slowly or quickly, or may have already sent undetected malignant cells around the b0dy. Diagnostic te sts cannot accurately predict which Of the se tumors will prove harmless or deadly, often lead- ing tO excesslve or insuffcient treatment. But a new study has uncovered a particular genetic signature that indicates the one-third Of intermediate-ns prostate cancers bound t0 be problematic. With this signature in hand, identifying patients WhO need rigorous treat- ment up front—aswellmvthose whO dO not—is now within reach. Researchers at the Princess Margaret Can- cer Centre in Toronto zeroed in on five genetic charactenstics ofpatients with a large lncrease ln prostate-specific antigen, an indicator Of recur- rence within tWO years Of treatment. "These are the ones who have lethal disease, says study co-author RObert Bnstow. ln the し S. , that's about 4 , 000 patlents per year. Their genetic p ortrait could guide therapy. lt provides a path for testing whether or not an individual tumor is destined tO be aggres- Slve, says Mark Pomerantz, an oncologist at Boston s Dana-Farber Cancer lnstitute. The study, published in Ⅳ 4 尾 this month, included 200 whole-genome sequences, which cover the entire span Of an individual's DNA rather than just the small portion that encodes proteins. This broad view enabled researchers to spot vanatlons m genes thatcontribute tOthe spread¯ and proliferation Of cancer cells, an inadequate immune response and faulty DNA repair. The re se archersare developingmtesufor the genetic signature and investigating whether more aggressive treatment helps patients whO have it.
