Realism and Responsibility

Listen to some of the new wise men of Africa. They insist that unless
Africans get their own house in order, aid will not fix anything.

June 20 issue - Richard Curtis, the screenwriter who wrote "Four
Weddings and a Funeral" and "Love Actually," has written a new romantic
comedy, this time about global poverty. I know, it sounds
sleep-inducing, but the HBO movie, "The Girl in the Cafe," is a
pleasure to watch. And it does leave you wanting to do something about
global poverty, which is not the urge I usually have when I walk out of
a theater.
