...Generals' Shame Your cover photo paints a tellingly bleak picture of Burma's suffering [May 19]. It is ludicrous that amid such a catastrophe the military junta asked people to vote on a constitutional referendum to enable their sham "discipline-flourishing democracy." It is even more reprehensible that, while people are starving and dying in the cyclone's wake, the military is hampering the efforts of relief workers. Too bad Burma's resources are not as coveted as those of the Middle East. If they were, surely the U.S. and a coalition of other willing allies would have forced more...
...Generals' Shame Thank you for using the names Burma, Burmese and Rangoon [May 26]. Those names are precious to all democracy-loving people inside and outside the country.

Her warnings went unheeded, and when the scandal exploded in 2002, the church's inaction became a source of shame. Mulkerrin's memos were later used in a lawsuit against the archdiocese...
...Without more attention and investment, India's health will continue to be a national shame. Almost half of all Indian children under five are malnourished. The effect of that lasts for years, not only because malnourished kids are stunted, but because they do worse in school and tend to have unhealthier kids themselves. "What happens in today's India may have a bearing on the next two generations," said Dr. M. K. Bhan, Secretary of the Department of Biotechnology in India's Ministry of Science and Technology. "Undernutrition in early life is the most profound issue that should concern...
