Like some of his favorite writers - like Sappho, whom we know only from ancient fragments, or the Japanese poets who crafted 17-syllable haiku - Salinger was an author whose large reputation pivots on very little. The first of his published stories that he thought were good enough to preserve appeared in the New Yorker in 1948. Seventeen years later he placed one last story there and drew down the shades...
Jerome David Salinger was born in New York on Jan. 1, 1919. His mother was a Scots-born Protestant who changed her name from Marie to Miriam to accommodate her Jewish in-laws.

As political agents, we must...
...disaster of this magnitude. Once the rubble clears, relief groups must focus on modernizing the country’s decrepit infrastructure. The Army Corps of Engineers has specified that any recovery in Haiti must renovate the ports, airfields, electrical grids, and water and road systems. It is not enough to merely restore Haiti to its former condition; true relief means leaving the country with the means to provide essential services to its own people...
