...myself that sometimes. The good news is that I do have great relationships with my children, with my ex-wife. I've had a few personal relationships that the world watched. If you have two or three girlfriends that you decide to go separate ways with, everybody watches that and says it feels like 20 or 30. My life has been an open book, and I've allowed it to be that way. I don't know that I would do that again in the future. The only failure I can see in my life is being divorced...
...face of America has changed, so has the face of American racism. Old-fashioned antiblack bigotry still exists, but today, far more than 20 years ago, white Americans are likely to associate dark skin with foreignness.

...government knows it's facing a problem. To plug this hole, Delhi has been spending more money to build infrastructure and get children to school, with this year's national budget earmarking $8.2 billion for education - an increase of 20% over last year. Programs like the mid-day meal scheme and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, which aims to get all children between 6 and 14 into school, have been successful in getting over 95% children into primary education, but dropout rates remain high. According to a government survey for the 2005-06 academic year, over 70% of 6-10 year-olds...
...real test, however, will lie not in how many volunteers sign up but in how useful and sustainable it proves to be. It works by placing volunteers with existing NGOs, each of which works with different social segments and follows different teaching methods - from adults to school dropouts to children who have never been to school, and using methods as different as tuitions to supplement school learning to teaching through the performing arts. Making the program coherent, evaluating its efficacy and ensuring continuity as volunteers come and go will be a challenge...
