Koizumi's legacy 2001-2006, five years of change and a break with the past in Japanese economic policy. Sebastian Moffett review's Koizumi's achievements, bringing Japanese government and policy closer to the people bypassing the bureaucracy and ministries, appealing directly to the people and carrying on conversations with the public on television on critical economic policies such as privatization of the post office savings accounts system, and hiring newcomers such as Takenaka to implement reduction of bank debt that stifled Japanese economic growth. Koizumi also created an effective Prime Minister's office to execute policy and provide new directions to Japan.

The struggles and triumphs over adversity and difficulties of Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine. Daughter of immigrant parents- a father who is a Greek immigrant and a mother who is a child of immigrants- Olympia is raised by an aunt who works at a textile mill in Maine in the 1950's, after losing both parents by the age of 10. She goes to the University of Maine where she studies political science. She marries a member of the House of Representatives from Maine, but her husband is killed in a car accident by the time she is 26. She decides to run for the Maine House of Representatives, and follows this by being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978. In 1994 she is elected to the U.S. Senate. Here she describes this experience of meeting personal tragedy with courage and faith.

This piece by Lyman and Bienvenu in the NYT shows Hungary under the Orban administration keen on restoring its frayed ties to the European Union. Compared to the atmosphere earlier the Orban administration has moderated its positions following the economic crisis in Russia, say the NYT reporters. Hungarians have memories of the 1956 freedom struggle put down by the Russians, and while many Hungarians are looking for the relief from high mortgage payments provided by the Orban administration, they see the ties to the European Union as important for Hungary's future. Both Merkel and Putin visited Hungary recently.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
