...other day, a friend came to visit me with her five year-old daughter. We drank tea, ate apple pie with saffron crust, and discussed the marriages of our mutual acquaintances. As they prepared to leave, the little girl proudly pulled out a cherry-red veil from her purse and tied it on with an innocent flourish. Only the most religiously extreme families force girls that young to wear hejab (as the veil is known in Iran), and I looked at my friend inquiringly.

...then, this magazine couldn't be produced without the volunteers, such as Yochai Benkler, who allow us journalists to interview them. Cable TV news channels are pageants of volunteerism, with much airtime filled by unpaid guests. The majority of these people aren't motivated by Kropotkin's spirit of mutual aid--they seek fame, an audience for their ideas, higher fees on the speaking circuit. But for those minutes on air, they are working for free...
