...shaped office may have changed little over the years, but at a recent meeting there were small but telling signs that the formidable 82-year-old leader has mellowed - a little. For one thing, the temperature has crept up noticeably. And while most surfaces are still bare, the table behind Lee's computer is covered with untidy piles of books. Lee says that his current favorite isn't one of the stacked tomes on terrorism or economics but the sprawling 17th-century Spanish novel Don Quixote. "A new translation," he enthuses. "Very good."

...jury may be out on Wal-Mart's motives, but the apparent conversion of such a bare-knuckled competitor raises a question: Could CSR be smart business? Are critics like Rodgers missing something?

The few articles of clothing that I grabbed from my house while I was evacuating are all that could be saved. Only three months after the storm, I talk to many people in the Bay Area about my experience. It has taken me a long time to talk about this event without sobbing by the middle of my story. However, I find that many people...
Mayor Sissoko sees things more simply. Sitting with his bare feet brushing the dusty floor beside a battered pair of white flip-flops, he shakes his head at a description of an air-conditioned tractor common in the U.S. and Europe. "The farmers there don't sweat," he says. "We are sweating here...
