Bridging Differences
Using the current public schools as best we can to prepare future adults to exercise good judgment about whatever media is available (which hopefully will include writers they disagree with) is essential!

Even though the iPhone application is only 20% of the price of the printed book ($4.95 vs. $24.95), it doesn't appear to be cutting into sales of the bound edition.
