A solid reader for high school A.P. classes

The Lasser is one of several readers available to high school A.P. Government classes. I teach a class with between 25 - 30 students. The Lasser is not my primary text, and I assign reading about once a chapter (6-8 days). My kids complain about the Lasser because it is more abstract and opinionated than their text. I try to tie the article to current events and class discussion. The Lasser covers lots of ground, giving you atleast one article on your curriculum topics. The comparative section is impressive, but I don't teach a comparative class, so we don't go there to often. It's tough reading for the above average high school junior, but I insist they read.
