...efforts of the mothers of murdered rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. to honor what TIME called "their sons' legacies." What a sad commentary on society. Those two individuals promoted hedonism and violence. There was nothing honorable about the lives they lived, and the perverse fantasies they sold to inner city youth were probably more damaging than any good they may have done. I wish the mothers of the two rappers would denounce the lifestyles their children were proponents of. They succumbed to the thuggery they preached and died much too young. Their tragedy should not be glamorized...
...Wilner: Absolutely. He was very uneasy with Luce. They were not on speaking terms for the most part during the last year of Hadden's life. Trust and loyalty were so important to Hadden. He was vulnerable. Despite being so charismatic and so popular, he had an inner feeling that he didn't really belong, that he was an eccentric person, and he always felt lonely within that no one could truly understand him.

Comparing man's plight to that of the indestructible cockroach, Dulcie Porter muses: "The cockie statistics were impressive, but when it came to survival you couldn't beat people, that was her view." Such robust inner lives are alone worth celebrating in these miraculous short stories...
...chairman of three major nonprofits. Since 1991, I've been the chairman of Carnegie Hall, and of the Cornell Medical College since 1996. I'm also the chairman of the National Academy Foundation, which started 25 years ago to show people in inner-city schools that there is an opportunity education is the key to unlocking that future. If we don't do that, the divide between the wealthy and those who don't have anything is going to get even wider. If that happens, this country is not going to be a leader in this world 20 years from...
