...Kwame's daughter Suzzy Afua Deh was 5 at the time of Ghana's first coup. She remembers those early years with fondness. "Life then was easy because my father worked," she told me as we sat outside her two-room concrete-block house in Lapaz, a poor neighborhood of dirt roads and street hustlers in northwestern Accra. "Everything was O.K." Suzzy, now 46, stayed behind with her grandparents in Fodome when her parents moved to Accra. The extended African family has always been a welcome insurance policy when times get tough...
...just 19, Suzzy married Gershon Aka, a bank clerk 12 years her senior. The first few years of married life were a strange combination of personal joys and national disaster.

Bush, 25, who has been interning in Latin America for UNICEF (which will get a portion of the proceeds), says she hopes to "motivate young Americans to increase their awareness of other young people around the world." If only she had connections, the book...
...better input. Having an official student committee is all the more important because of Faust’s lack of experience overseeing undergraduates. Indeed, at a recent meeting with the UC, Faust admitted she had only a few limited windows on the Harvard undergraduate experience—her daughter, who graduated nearly three years ago, and the history seminar she is currently teaching. Consequently, Faust could benefit greatly from expanded dialogue before she appoints a dean. Last spring, the Presidential Search Committee appointed a student advisory committee for the first time. It seems strange that students will have even less...
