Personally, I know a janitor who makes less than $10 per hour and who is struggling to pay for his wife's cancer treatment. I also know subcontracted security guards who are eligible for some benefits, but cannot accept them because they realize that when they cost the subcontracting company $9 to $9.50 per hour, they lose their jobs. Interestingly, administrators typically argue against a living wage by claiming that wage standards ignore benefits which workers receive. Perhaps most disturbingly, the workers facing these intolerable circumstances are disproportionately immigrants and people of color--people whom Harvard administrators evidently consider...
...should first restore honor and fairness to the state judiciary. The judicial system in Texas, taken as a whole, uniquely disadvantages poor defendants by depriving them of fair representation at trial, of fair chances on appeal, and of fair treatment at all levels by judges to whose campaigns they cannot afford to contribute. Yet unless a court victory forces a change in the judicial process, Texans may have to wait for public officials who have the resolve to overcome political interests and stop the sale of justice to the highest bidder...
...arrived at last, only to confound all those who cannot imagine that a man might prefer to raise his child in Cuba than in America.

Nereciana's death, a tragedy that still lives in Joseph's sad eyes, was part of the slow genocide of hope, a sin that can be undone only by the miracle of an outside world that cares...
...with Karl Taro Greenfeld's story and James Nachtwey's photographs about mother and child mortality in Rwanda. (Nachtwey last week won an Eisie photography award for his image of a Kosovar refugee that ran in TIME last spring.) The continuing tragedy of that African nation is that it cannot even repopulate itself: 1 out of every 9 mothers dies in childbirth--compared with 1 in 4,000 in the U.S.--and 40% of children die before age five. When we developed this story idea, we wanted to ensure it would be supplemented by an aid effort that would allow...
