'We're Turning to a Time of Hope ... and Moving to a Time of Action'
WALTHAM, Mass., April 26 -- "We are in a time when great frustration is turning into a time of hope and we are also moving to a time of action," said keynote speaker Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, speaking at the standing-room-only Bentley College 2007 Leadership Forum, the third in an annual collaboration with TIME Magazine in Waltham, Massachusetts.
At one point, directing his remarks to the Tomorrow25 -- a group of high school students honored at the Forum as "leaders of tomorrow," Sachs said, "You're the ones who will have to fulfill some very deep hopes -- the hope to build a world without poverty, without hunger and without disease."
This year's Leadership Forum theme was, The Business of Healing our World. "We desperately want a world at peace," said Sachs, a world that is not lived with an "us versus them" mentality -- and "a world with a safe and sustainable environment."
Bentley is a national leader in business education located minutes from Boston. |GlobalGiants.com|

A WOMAN IN CHARGE: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, written by award-winning journalist and best-selling author Carl Bernstein, will be published in June, it was announced today by Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Publishing Group, US publisher of A WOMAN IN CHARGE. The book, a biography of Senator Clinton that covers her life up through her decision to run for president, will go on sale nationwide on June 19.
Bernstein, who shared a Pulitzer Prize with Bob Woodward for their reporting on Watergate for The Washington Post, has spent the last eight years working on this book. He interviewed more than two hundred people, including friends, colleagues, and adversaries of Hillary's, both on and off the record. The result is a nuanced and thorough look at her life to date.
Bernstein's reporting in A WOMAN IN CHARGE reveals Senator Clinton's complex relationship with her disciplinarian father, examines the early development of her deep religious feelings, and looks at her time at Wellesley and Yale Law School, where her political ideals took shape. It also looks at her courtship with Bill Clinton and the amazing dynamic of their marriage, during the most trying of circumstances and times; it shows the extent to which she was instrumental in the triumphs and troubles of her husband's governorship and presidency; and it untangles her relationship to Whitewater, Troopergate, and Travelgate. Finally, it details her successful run for Senate and remarkable rise to a dominant role in the Democratic party, and it sheds light on her own political brilliance and blind spots.
A WOMAN IN CHARGE will be published in the UK by Hutchinson, an imprint of the Random House Group. |GlobalGiants.com|

Photo: Logging, building, farming and poaching have virtually killed off the Amur Leopard, environmentalists said. There are only 25 to 34 of the graceful animals still living in the wild, WWF said at a news briefing in Moscow to report on the results of a census of leopard numbers in Russia's Far East. At least 100 would be needed to guarantee the species' survival.
The Amur leopard used to roam freely around the Korean peninsula and northeast China but farms, villages and roads have eaten away at its forest habitat where it hunts for deer, hare, badgers and small rodents. The Amur leopard has longer legs and fur than other leopard species, allowing it to prowl and hunt with ease in the snowy eastern fringe of Siberia. (Picture Credit: Reuters) |GlobalGiants.com|
