In November 2005, the House of Representatives subcommittee for oversight and investigations held a hearing on Al Hurra to explore charges brought by former employees about various improprieties, including no-bid contracts and nonstandard hiring practices. One lawmaker noted a $120,000 haircut on the channel's books. Al Hurra's viewer statistics have also been the source of continued controversy. Professor Mark Lynch, of Williams College, who has been following Arab media, told Communications Daily that the network's claims of growing market share are "out of line" with what has been found by independent market research. "They can't crack even 1%," he says.

Your story on the traitor Josh Rushing causes me great concern. I, for one, am not interested in trying to understand those who would attack our country. They have earned no quarter and that is what we will give them.

The Green Wave

I would like to congratulate you on an extremely well-written and all around terrific article on Tulane University in the wake of Hurricane Katrina ("The Storm After the Storm," April). As a lifelong New Orleans resident as well as a Tulane alum, I am extremely grateful. Tulane is a small school often overshadowed by more popular ones in the area. I was especially impressed by the stunning pictures that were featured.

Medical Records

Charles Fishman's article on technology leading to greater efficiency in medical offices ("Record Time," April) is a healthy sign that a complex profession is willing to make changes that benefit everyone involved. Those of us in education could learn from this. While we have certainly incorporated aspects of the digital age, we could well take a few more creative leaps capable of transforming our thinking and our operations for the sake of students and teachers.
