Dr. Yunus spoke of a new initiative that brings together Jennifer and Peter Buffett’s foundation and the NIKE Foundation, in a new focus around women in developing countries.

That news seems “hot off the press”, but in digging for more facts, I just came upon a staggeringly negative reality, one that leaves speechless.

Former President Bill Clinton’s “Clinton Global Initiative” is in full swing this week, here in New York. Secretary of State Clinton will speak tomorrow.
