...rural Tanzania for eight weeks, I knew not to have particularly high expectations about the food I would encounter there. Two weeks of orientation seemed to prove me right—we were served the same beef stew, which had more bones in it than actual meat, every single night. Sometimes we hard-working volunteers had to subsist on only makande for lunch, a stew of maize and beans. Needless to say, I was less than satisfied...

Every night, Iranians have flooded the streets of Westwood, Los Angeles, wearing the colors of the campaign for freedom and carrying flags and candles. Children who have never played in the green pastures of Shomal have rallied among their parents holding pictures of those killed and flyers reading NEDA, WE WILL NEVER...
