...minus professionals. Kobe’s out. Kevin Garnett is expected to turn down the Olympics invitation. Karl Malone wants out, and Shaq is non-committal. Vince Carter has said no, the New Jersey Nets tandem of Kenyon Martin and Jason Kidd both want to rest injuries, and Ray Allen is staying home because his first child is due in September.

The country has a heart-breaking child mortality rate; average life expectancy is 57 years. "There is so much this country still needs in basic services," he says...
