Vouchers, busing, desegregation, testing, No Child Left Behind-they're all part of the story that Grant tells in his just-offthe- presses Hope and Despair in the American City: Why There Are no Bad Schools in Raleigh (Harvard University Press; 204 pages/ hardcover; $25.95). Grant will be speaking at Barnes and Noble, 3454 Erie Blvd. E., DeWitt, Thursday, May 28, 7 p.m. The event is free.
