...Barenboim started the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, a youth ensemble that draws together Israeli and Arab musicians, many from disputed territories. Its first concert that year was in Weimar, Germany, in the shadow of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Concerts followed each summer across Europe and North America until 2004, when Barenboim made history by taking the orchestra to Ramallah, in the West Bank, where the musicians played under armed guard...
...requires constant vigilance. He works 16-hour days to monitor democracy in Venezuela and stability outside it, and recently led about 400 classmates across the Colombian border, calling for peace during a diplomatic meltdown between the feuding neighbors. Sánchez says that while his movement has "taken away [his] youth," it can be an example to the rest of Latin America. "Youths in any nation, I believe, can do the same," he says.

True commitment to solving the problems of the "Mezzogiorno" - as Italy's eight southernmost regions are known - is clearly not considered a vote getter. Yet for reasons that transcend geography, turning around the south ought to be Italy's most pressing national priority. Youth unemployment in the Mezzogiorno is a staggering 36%; and between 1991 and 2005, according to one recent study, the Interior Ministry dissolved 154 local city councils in the area because of Mob infiltration. These conditions have caused a steady exodus of the region's most promising youth to points north...
