...Your book is very optimistic - you talk a lot in the book about how if you want it hard enough and if you work hard enough, the tools now exist for you to be able to build your own brand. I don't sell you the 40-hour workweek. It's going to be a lot of work. But do what you love. So if you love the Dallas Cowboys or you love gardening or you love tae kwon do, all I'm asking you to do is allocate [the time spent] consuming that content to providing...
Standing Up to Taliban Corruption In your article "How the Taliban Thrives," you state that a local businessman, Hajji Lala Jan, was subcontracted by a local firm working for the German government?aid agency GTZ to build a road in Kunduz, in Afghanistan, and that Jan handed some cash to a Taliban middleman [Sept. 7].

Thirty-six times, the Torah urges the Israelites to befriend the stranger, for they were strangers in Egypt...
...avoid the threat of the racial Balkanization that you describe? We have a golden opportunity now. If I were an elected leader, I would say we have $800 billion in stimulus money that could rebuild America. We don't want to build communities in such a way that continues segregation. After World War II, President Eisenhower built highways and gave incentives to homeowners that gave white suburbanites an advantage. It left us with segregation for decades to come. Now we have an opportunity to get it right...
