During the weeks following the conference, there were articles, editorials, op-eds, and letters to the editor about Prof. Norwood’s research in newspapers from coast to coast, and as far away as Turkey, India, Israel, Malta, and New Zealand. Prof. Norwood also appeared on a number of radio talk shows to discuss the issue. The combined reading and listening audiences that were made aware of Harvard’s relationship with the Nazis totalled in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Stimulating this kind of public discussion of the Harvard-Hitler issue was a major goal...
...Hong Kong. In their annual forecast, the economists agreed that East Asia would spend another year in the doldrums. Though the board members expect a slight acceleration of growth rates in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, they foresee further declines in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and New Zealand.

That changed one year when I was in New Zealand for officer training, and our warrant officer told us to meet half an hour earlier on Anzac Day for our own service. There were just six of us Australians, all about 19 or 20 years old, and we had some rum in our coffee. I remember it was very bitter...
...There were 154 of us who went to Indonesia, and in the nine weeks we were there we treated 3,600 people and performed 292 major surgical procedures. I met my New Zealand counterpart on the phone, and 12 hours later her unit and mine were working together. There were so many people coming to us from everywhere. And you don't just look after the patients in those situations, you get to know their families too. You hear their stories, and you form a very close connection with them. And in Aceh, as in East Timor, there was overwhelming...
