As Mayor Giuliani is locked in a tense struggle of wills with the teachers union, Hillary's positions on these issues acquire a new saliency. Rudy wants to pay summer school-teachers more if their students improve and less if they don't. But the teachers union is worried that this might open the door to merit pay.

As Hillary courts the teachers union and poses as an education reformer, her record in Arkansas keeps getting in the way.
