...commandant was pleased to report that in the past 24 hours he had processed over 22,000 Jews.” But Burian said that people’s actions could not be easily categorized as either good or bad. He described an officer who, surprised and angered to see him still alive, forced him out of a group that was marked to be killed, by beating him. “Intentionally or not—I say in his anger, my wife says on purpose—he kicked me out, cracked a few ribs, but saved my life...
...rhetorical magic of the speech-what made it extraordinary-was that it was, at once, both unequivocal and healing. There were no weasel words, no Bushian platitudes or Clintonian verb-parsing. Obama was unequivocal in his candor about black anger and white resentment-sentiments that few mainstream politicians acknowledge (although demagogues of both races have consistently exploited them).

Contact and communication are the methods he always stresses-to this day, he encourages every possibility for dialogue with China and in places even urges Tibetans to study Buddhism under Chinese leaders whom he knows to be capable...
...want to be the Dalai Lama? Bearing the burden of an entire people's frustration, anger and despair over half a century can't be easy at the best of times for their exiled spiritual leader. But since the anti-Chinese demonstrations began in and outside Tibet on March 10, the Dalai Lama has found himself confronting a swelling tide of opposition and defiance from within his community. So, on the one hand, he has to contend with Beijing calling him the mastermind of the violent protests in Lhasa, and to walk a diplomatic tightrope with the Indian authorities that...
