...Continent?" [July 13]. While I appreciate the philanthropy of the world's richest countries, I disagree with their style of giving. The problem is education. Why are the great nations in the West industrialized and we are not? Teach us how to mine our resources and how to design and construct facilities for the mining, and then Africa will catch up. That's the best way to aid us. Otherwise, it feels as though you are deliberately withholding the true source of development. Alexander Ezeh, BENIN CITY, NIGERIA...
...about policy disagreements, help him influence internal debates at key moments and give him a leg up in framing issues for the President.

...travelers are stocked with provisions (Tiger beer, baby diapers) you can't find at longhouses like Long Dungan, where 35-year-old Web designer Calvin Jemarang takes me to meet his spry 83-year-old uncle Kojan Kabeng, a sculptor and blowpiper, one of the last of a dying breed. Kojan's kitchen lintel is decorated with a radiant succubus motif, and when I ask the legend behind it - in which a hunter is seduced and eaten by a beautiful spirit - Calvin perks up; he has never heard it either. Later, at a nearby Sekapan longhouse, 35-year-old Stephen...
