...Clinton Has His Say Bill Clinton is right when he says all international efforts regarding Haiti are essential so "the Haitian people can reclaim their destiny" [Jan. 25]. However, he misses one point that is key to Haiti's becoming self-sustaining, and that is cultural change. The mix of West African religious and cultural influences prevalent in the country, like voodoo, sends the message that life is dictated by magic, and planning has no effect on the future. Haitian culture must be redeveloped and restructured, and although the circumstances are tragic, this is a time to change in order...
...order to help a country properly, it is first necessary to understand its key problems. Haiti seems to be at a pivotal point in its history: it can continue as before or make the needed changes in government, education and infrastructure.

...should be handled only with gloves). As the dry-ice pellets slowly evaporate, the open thermos spout lets the CO2 - which falsely signals bedbugs that a breathing, blood-filled meal is nearby - seep out overnight.

The bugs climb the outer surface of the dish, which can be scuffed with sandpaper for better traction, and get stuck in its moat, made slippery-smooth with a dusting of talcum powder...
Thankfully, Legrand and Scally haven't. The great musical innovators notwithstanding, it's generally disastrous to effect a radical stylistic shift. (I know there are hard-core defenders of U2's electro-experiment album Pop out there somewhere ... but they're wrong.) No, the key is change and more of the same. So while Legrand's voice, easily one of the most beguiling ones in rock today, has until now been weighed down by the band's reverb-heavy atmosphere, Teen Dream simply lightens the load. The results, as on "Lover of Mine," are vocals that soar with joy while...
Former President Jimmy Carter suffered a verbal pummeling three years ago for comparing the standoff between Israel and the Palestinians to apartheid - the South African system that meant not only segregation, but a denial of citizenship to a whole category of people. And so it was ironic that a key Israeli leader warned his people that the status quo on the territories conquered by Israel in 1967 amounts to the same thing. Barak's point was to warn that unless the Palestinians are given an independent state of their own, the world will eventually notice that their lives are controlled...
