Case in point: children and parents who attend Robert Cole's Little Gyms don't care that Cole is a 73-year-old international tax lawyer working in a field that attracts mostly women in their 20s.

Throughout his career, Cole has wanted to work more directly with people instead of with large corporations; he rediscovered his love for children after becoming a grandfather seven years ago.

...explosives expert, Tiazy is also responsible for dealing with the torpedoes and other old ordnance that islanders still occasionally stumble upon 60 years after the end of World War II in the Pacific. But today the police have come to Ughele to speak with Dick Dani. In his early 20s and unemployed, Dani has become the village nuisance. He's accused of assaulting people, using abusive language and throwing rocks at houses. Dani has ignored the warnings of Peter's committee and the village organizer, so the Solomons police have been called. Dani is questioned by Tiazy, whose disposition...
