...against Japan stems from nationalism and economic jockeying for resources, but that's not why people mutilate themselves or jump from bridges. Edward Kim Fullerton, California, U.S. African Heroine I read with interest the Time 100 list of influential people [April 18]. Thank you for including Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan Member of Parliament who won the Nobel Peace Prize for founding the environmentalist Green Belt Movement in her country. As your story noted, it is not easy being green in the developing world. The showcasing of Maathai along with several other achievers from Africa will continue to inform the world...
...weeks ago, the Kenyan men lost their hold on the Boston marathon for the first time in 14 years.

But one by one, divisive issues were ironed out. One of the most sensitive of these was defused when the host Kenyan delegation succeeded in removing language equating Zionism with racism. "I said I was coming home with a document that did not have Zionism in it," said President Reagan's daughter Maureen, head of the 29-member U.S. delegation...
...family planning. Frank Scimone Amsterdam Jeffrey Sachs writes movingly on the plight of the poor, but I take issue with his statement that antimalarial bed nets are not available to the poor in Kenya because they cost ?several dollars.? This is simply untrue. A collaborative program between the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the NGO Population Services International is delivering nets for as little as $0.67 throughout the area of the country where malaria is endemic. At this price, 200,000-300,000 nets per month are being delivered, and demand is currently outstripping supply. As a result, the program...
