...nonprofit organizations tell TIME that since the recession hit, several have canceled commitments to help fund projects. "We have had three or four partners pull out since October or November, after we had every expectation of the money," says the head of a small organization in London that runs youth programs in eight countries, mostly in Africa. (He did not want to be named for fear of angering donors.) Says Hildy Simmons, who runs a Wall Street philanthropic-advisory service: "There is no new money going into corporate programs, plus whatever monies there were are diminishing...
...Muslim activists, who take on diverse causes from one country to another, have emerged in reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks and all that has happened since. Navtej Dhillon, director of the Brookings Institution's Middle East Youth Initiative, says, "There's a generation between the ages of 15 and 35 driving this soft revolution--like the baby boomers in the U.S.--who are defined by a common experience. It should have been a generation outward looking in a positive way, with more education, access to technology and aspirations for economic mobility." Instead, he says, "it's become hostage...
...colleagues were urged to leave the Brotherhood, they decided to stay. "As a public party," he says, "its decisions are relevant to the destiny of all Egyptians, so their thoughts should be open to all people." And indeed, his blog--and other criticism from the movement's youth wing--has caused the manifesto...
...Lady from the Sea. The plot is high harlequin: a dark and stormy night, a chronically sensitive young wife aching for a strong rogue to free her from the marital cage. But Richardson let star quality shine through, with a grandeur audiences had been hoping for since her youth. Virtually channeling her mother, she had all the intensity, and nearly the magic, of Vanessa Redgrave in her early radiance. (In an ironic and infuriating example of life imitating art, Redgrave was last on Broadway two years ago in the one-woman show The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion...
Experience vs. Youth. A study of Canadian air-traffic controllers published in this month's Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that an aging brain is just as sharp as a young one - at least when it comes to surveying the skies. While older controllers, aged 53 to 64, were slower on simple memory or decision-making tasks not directly related to air-traffic control than their younger peers, aged 20 to 27, they did equally well on tests that directly simulated the tasks of an air traffic controller. The study's lead author theorizes that decades of experience and expertise...
