COFFEE BREAK 124

+ Thanks to Frederic Brussat, I found out that Bill Moyers' Journal offers an interview with Greg Mortenson. Excerpt:

And I really think that, you know, fighting terrorism is based in fear. But promoting peace is based in hope. And I actually had to squabble with the publishers a bit because originally "Three Cups of Tea," the subtitle, that they wanted to be "One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism One School at a Time," and actually had that subtitle for a year. But I kept persisting that that needs to be changed. Just a subtle change but it-- "One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time." And it doesn't mean we just go around the world holding hands and drinking tea and having peace. But I really do believe that there's a lot of power behind love and compassion and respecting and listening to people.

+ It is now the third day of the thaw after weeks of snow and cold along the Erie Canal.
