The New Yorker has a lengthy profile of Arne Duncan in its??February 1??issue. A colleague of mine??pointed out this segment in particular: ???Duncan, who is forty-five, is six feet five and long-limbed, with a pale face that tapers to a wedgelike chin.??? ....Nice.
The??piece has many anecdotes and quotes from a variety of folks weighing in on Duncan and his efforts. Among them, a Mike Petrilli quote (from Flypaper) describing Race to the Top as "the carrot that feels like a stick."
