...want to. Open interethnic conflict is rare, but relations with Russia itself are uneasy; a border treaty that both sides signed last year after long negotiations remains open because Moscow now says it wants new terms. In this charged atmosphere, even small disputes sometimes assume oversized importance. Scuffles broke out at a Soviet-era war memorial in Tallinn this year on May 9, the anniversary of the end of World War II, after Russian veterans unfurled Soviet flags. That prompted an outraged reaction, including a threat by one Estonian nationalist leader to blow up the monument. The park where...

If it sounds like the corporate world has a spiritual yearning, it's also true that the nonprofit world feels the need to increase its marketing savvy. Earlier this year, Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), another charity that focuses on professional volunteers, broke with its 48-year history by offering short-term placements - from two weeks to six months - rather than the standard two-year commitment. These moves are necessary to attract managers with big hearts but significant time constraints. "It's not a question of whether we wanted to professionalize or not," says...
