...organization is the task of coming up with a clear and inclusive agenda. During the civil rights era, poor and middle-class blacks were united in their need for basic access to schools, housing and jobs. Now a growing black middle class has moved out of the inner cities and become increasingly detached from the needs of poor blacks. Some 27% of black households earned more than $50,000 a year in 2001, vs. just 12% in 1971, according to U.S. Census data, adjusted for inflation. Despite those gains, about 20% of blacks remained below the poverty line...

Bush liked the work so much that he invited Sharansky into the Oval Office in early November...
...what has science learned about what makes the human heart sing? More than one might imagine--along with some surprising things about what doesn't ring our inner chimes. Take wealth, for instance, and all the delightful things that money can buy. Research by Diener, among others, has shown that once your basic needs are met, additional income does little to raise your sense of satisfaction with life (see story on page A32). A good education? Sorry, Mom and Dad, neither education nor, for that matter, a high IQ paves the road to happiness. Youth? No, again. In fact, older...
