Lack of coordination between European union nations and with Turkey on intelligence and security- lessons from the Brussels airport/subway attacks in March 2016
03/23/2016
Hillary Clinton points to the lack of adequate coordination between EU nations and with Turkey on security as a serious problem in an address at Stanford University following the Brussels attacks at the airport and busy subway station. Turkey has knowledge about one of the suicide bombers before the attack but information is not shared with EU authorites because of lack of coordination and no mechanism for this. Clinton points out that there is more coordination between the U.S. and an EU nation than between EU nations, and it is easier for the U.S. to get flight manifests than for other EU nations to share this with each other.

Views of Republicans on the presidential election of 2016 with candidates Trump, Cruz and Kasich
03/25/2016
Letters to the Editor take issue with a WSJ editorial saying Kasich or some other Republican could be the nominee if Trump does not win on the first ballot. The letters say Cruz has the vote of more Republicans without other candidates fragmenting the vote, and cross over Democrats voting for Trump in open primaries. The letters ask how may of these Democrats voting for Trump will vote for Trump in the general election, instead favoring Hillary Clinton.

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.
