...Since I have no intention of buying Sarah Palin's book, I decided to watch her on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She is telegenic. She did not put her foot in her mouth. I don't blame Palin for taking advantage of her moment--writing a book, making money. That is the American way. But don't ask me to believe that she has anything to contribute to serious political discourse in this country...
...Bloom ’12, the assistant financial manager for the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, entered the bank just after the man left. She was the only customer in the lobby when she entered the bank, and she was depositing a large sum of money at the counter when she noticed the teller who was counting her money drastically slowing down.

...both scientists and religious leaders who have petitioned Obama to increase funding, also worry about the stability of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund, a foundation that receives funding from both public and private partners, distributes nearly a quarter of all HIV/AIDS donor money.

Before that, they doze in a corner of the square popular with "shadows of the night" like Aminah, a prostitute from the lurid tale "News from Kebajoran." She dies in a fit of delirium on a cold concrete bench nearby. How ironic, then, that a statue of Raden Kartini...
...much-touted success in Afghanistan, the reality is that education and literacy levels are abysmally low. It matters little how many aid dollars are spent on school buildings when the teachers inside operate at a reading level only slightly higher than that of their students. A fraction of the money spent on expensive foreign development consultants or military assets could be invested in nationwide literacy programs with far greater returns. For those who complain that education programs take at least a generation to mature, imagine what Afghanistan would be like today if there had been widespread investment in literacy...
