From the January, 2003 issue of Harper's magazine ("Harper's Index" page):

"Percentage change since 1900 in the number of U.S. schoolchildren labeled 'disabled': +37.

Percentage of U.S. high schools receiving federal aid whose students' contact information the army sought last fall: 100.

Average amount of aid each school district stands to lose if its schools do not supply the information: $762,083.

Page of the No Child Left Behind education law passed last year on which this new requirement is noted: 559."
