...nongovernmental relief organizations are all pointing fingers at one another, insisting that someone else should have seen this coming and taken action. White House officials say they are furious at the U.S. Agency for International Development (U.S.A.I.D.) for not sounding the alarm sooner. But hunger is a constant threat in Sudan, and the main aid supplier, Operation Lifeline Sudan, a consortium of U.N. agencies and nongovernmental organizations, has been in business since 1989, when 250,000 died.

Although there are shades of the recognizable John voice in Sean, he never fully appropriates his father's style...
...students, haven't made up our minds yet about what to do with ourselves. And if you think about it, it also makes sense that conferring a diploma on somebody might not necessarily spark an instantaneous decision. But after a while, doesn't the endless moving, the constant future-looking, the neverending eagerness for what to do Next--doesn't it start...
