"Instead of taking a vacation, someone could give his money to an enterprise, which in turn could give him interest and maybe even something else as well," Kavcic says.

Hambro, who served as the last president of the League of Nations. As a student, young Edvard did research under a fellowship at League headquarters in Geneva. A former smoker, Hambro now inveighs against tobacco with almost evangelistic fervor, and will not hesitate to ask guests not to smoke in his presence...
