Correction appended.An emeritus professor at Harvard Business School who is a leading expert on the development of the modern corporation, Alfred D.

...called on Fa?z? Woodville, 44, of Stratford, Pa., who cares for two sons at home. "Mr. President," she began, "I would like to know why it is that you and others in your administration keep linking 9/11 to the invasion of Iraq when no respected journalist or Middle Eastern expert confirmed that such a link existed." She got a burst of applause-this was no Bush-Cheney campaign audience.

The neo-orthodox theologian Karl Barth championed Joseph's role of taking care of Jesus. The black church in the U.S., says Robert Franklin, an expert on that topic at Atlanta's Emory University, has long felt a connection between Joseph as patriarch of an unexpectedly blended family and African-American slave history, in which men "found their own wives full with child and at the birth discovered the child was a mulatto...
