There are two kinds of celebrity crash. The first, like Tiger Woods' on Nov. 27, is accidental. You leave your house and drive your car into a tree, 911 is called, the authorities become involved, and the incident cannot be contained by the walls of your estate or the iron grip of your publicist. You give cryptic answers and implore the media (and cops) to respect your privacy. Anyone with further questions can see your official statement...

...maternal- and child-health programs, which can produce significant results for a lower cost through food and nutrition programs, as well as treatment for so-called opportunistic diseases like malaria and TB.
