...shameful 2010 World Cup. It is also true, though, that the new black élite, beneficiaries of the Black Economic Empowerment, have joined the white élite and have turned their backs on the masses of poor people whom they are supposed to help. There is a ray of hope. Our new President, Jacob Zuma, seems sincere in his promises to change the situation of the millions of poor people who elected him.

...Call Him Mr. Green Thanks for your encouraging article on Energy Secretary Steven Chu [Aug. 24].

There is a report from the Department of State on the war in Sri Lanka due in Congress [on Sept. 21]. Additionally, the office, together with the Secretary for Global Affairs and the Secretary of State, has the responsibility to collect information on ongoing atrocities, and it is then the responsibility of the President to determine what steps might be taken towards justice. Like the canary in the coal mine, we give the signal that something very serious is occurring...
