| #6 the skin tone and hair of the Swiss orphan girl in "Heidi" was darkened WTF? Everything done today in the US has to have a carefully balanced representation so that quadriplegic lesbian Aborigines feel included, but the Arab world can't deal with a white girl living in Switzerland? |

| #1 Selling books to the Middle East. I liked two things: Chip Rossetti, an Arabic literature translator who writes about publishing in the Middle East, said a movement is growing to encourage a culture of reading for pleasure, which has mostly been a pastime of the elite. "... in these countries education tends to be more about rote learning, less about free reading." Much later - Already, this infusion has transformed some West Bank children into critical thinkers. A bit of a stretch, but that's the idea. Get their little heads out of the Koran, and their Imam's interpretations thereof, and take a look at the rest of the world. |
