...schoolteachers and instructors to train their own people in such trades as carpentry, plumbing, home economics, nursing. In the village of Rio Negro in southern Chile, Janet Boegli, 22, from Austin, Texas, shares a small house with two Chilean girls, teaches women how to use a sewing machine, knit, mix powdered milk, clean beer bottles to use for babies' formulas. Chilean volunteers have organized communities of 20-30 houses, called centros. They raise money to buy sewing machines and other needed equipment by organizing fiestas and raffles. "What's important," writes Volunteer Boegli, "is that we have shown...
...Pasadena, Calif., has also become an honorary blood brother in the nomadic Wagogo tribe for saving the life of a pregnant tribeswoman by rushing her in his truck over pitted jungle roads to a doctor 30 miles away.

Katz's Washington is much like what any normally talented youngster might produce if asked...

Johnson Jr., who once ordered voting records turned over to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, was an "integrating, scalawagging, carpetbagging liar." Promising that he would refuse to obey "any order to mix races in our schools," Wallace offered to "stand in the schoolhouse door," and, if need be, go to jail before permitting integration. To suggestions that his position might be too strong for the voters to stomach, Wallace retorted: "How can you be too strong on what you believe in? There...
