Grandmothers and Ambassadors with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India in October, 2006

Purposeful: 13 Grandmothers Share Their Earthly Wisdom. Kristin Bender at Women's E-News,

The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers came together three years ago as the fulfillment of a shared prophecy among female spiritual leaders. Since then they've been traveling the world, praying and offering home-grown advice.


Talking hard from inside: Newspapers Should Not Be Owned By Media Conglomerates. Susan Campbell at the Hartford Courant is blunt:

I hold out hope that local ownership is a big part of the answer to the malaise that affects American newspapers. I am thankful that I work for a corporation that gave me a good dental plan, but I am willing to trade my teeth for a (local) owner who gets it.


The real deal: Ben Behaving Bradlee "The Grumpy Legend of American Journalism sounds off on JFK, Watergate, Iraq, Hillary Clinton, and Carl Bernstein's strange choice in women" at Radar. He's 86 and still goes in to work every day.
