COVER: The Case for MORE SCHOOL DAYS. By Michael J. Barrett Cover illustration by C. F Payne.

THE CASE FOR MORE SCHOOL DAYS: Many educational reformers have sought to improve the performance of American students by enhancing the "productivity" of every second of classroom time--a frustrating and nearly impossible task of micro-management. There is, the author argues, a better way: we should extend the school year, perhaps by as much as eight weeks. by MICHAEl. J. BARRETT.

OIL-SPILL FANTASIES: Contingency plans for dealing with oil spills are merely "optimistic yarns," according to the author. More effort needs to be made to prevent spills in the first place. by LEE CLARKE.

THE ECONOMICS OF LEGALIZING DRUGS: From a strictly economic point of view, the author argues, legalizing illegal drugs makes a great deal of sense: It would save taxpayers billions of dollars and put drug lords out of business. And, he contends, it would not cause an unmanageable increase in the number of addicts. by RICHARD J. DENNIS.
