01x05 - Tipping Point


I didn't have a say in what my future would be.

My father sent me to boarding school in Switzerland under an alias when I was nine years old.

When I was 17, I came back to Russia and learned that my father was a KGB general, and I was shipped off to the red banner institute to begin my training.

Did you hurt anyone? Any Americans?

No. It was just intelligence collection.

Against your own country.

You were asked to recruit him.

Your father was living in Moscow.

Then he was working for an American energy company.

The KGB wanted to steal its deep water drilling technology, but your father refused.

We fell in love instead.

All your father ever tried to do was to get me out of a life that I was forced into, a life that I never wanted.

Hillary Rodham Clinton

We Don't Hear Much About The U.N.'S Many Successes

By Hillary Rodham Clinton

Creators Syndicate, Inc.

WHEN I was 10, my family took a trip to New York. One of my best memories of that trip was a visit to the United Nations building. I remember thinking how beautiful it was and loving the wooden doll my father bought me in the gift shop.

Other than collecting money for UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) at Halloween, that was my only firsthand experience with the United Nations. Of course, I knew the United Nations was a body of representatives from nations around the world, and occasionally, I watched on television as our U.N. delegates debated with those from other countries.

Since my husband became president, however, I've learned more about the United Nations and the things it does every day that we don't hear about on the evening news.

Not long ago, when an epidemic of ebola virus threatened to spread out of Zaire, doctors and nurses coordinated by the U.N.'s World Health Organization and our Centers for Disease Control went in and sanitized hospitals filled with disease and death.

When people around the world were stunned by the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency took action, sending professionals needed for the cleanup.

Today, in countries like Bangladesh, UNICEF is dramatically improving literacy rates among girls and boys in the poorest regions of the world through financial and technical help to schools.

And generations to come will be able to learn about the history and share the beauty of cultural treasures such as the pyramids in Egypt and the Taj Majal in India thanks to the preservation efforts of the United Nations.

On another front, a U.N.-sponsored immunization campaign has succeeded in wiping out polio from the Western Hemisphere, which is good news for those of us who live here. When I visited Latin America last month, the results of the campaign were evident in every country.

In the aftermath of disasters like the earthquake in Armenia in 1988 and the floods last year in Nigeria that displaced 400,000 people, the United Nations was there, feeding the hungry, tending to the sick, healing the wounded and sheltering the homeless.

Still, I know from my mail that if you ask many Americans for their view of the United Nations, you are likely to get an earful about the failure of U.N. peacekeeping troops to stop ethnic conflict in Bosnia.

Chelsea Clinton Speaks Out -- African Teens Hear About The Lives Of Their Counterparts In The U.S.A.

By Peter Baker

Washington Post

ARUSHA, Tanzania - The words had all the familiar ring of a presidential sermon, the plaintive concern about "hopelessness and cynicism" in modern American society followed by a spirited testimonial to the individual's capacity to rise above the forces of despair.

But the preacher in this case wasn't Bill Clinton. It was Chelsea.

The first daughter emerged on the public stage yesterday in a way she never has before.

Accompanying mother Hillary Rodham Clinton on a two-week tour of Africa, Chelsea was invited to answer questions from a group of local teenagers and had an eloquent discourse on the troubles in her home nation.

"We have big problems with violence in our country, in all spectrums," she told her African peers during a brief meeting in an airport building in this East African city. "We have a big problem with drugs and people not thinking they have a future. There's a lot of hopelessness."

Asked by a young girl what was being done about these issues in the United States, Chelsea talked first about efforts by parents and teachers.

"But," she said, "I think with our problems with hopelessness and cynicism that (the solution) ultimately has to come from the young people themselves. I think that's something we have to work on. We've got to realize we are the future and we make of our future what we make of it, and ultimately we have to do it for ourselves."

Recovery of HMS Hood's ship's bell abandoned

An attempt to recover the bell from a sunken World War II battlecruiser has been called off because of bad weather and deep currents.

HMS Hood has been at the bottom of the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland since it was sunk by the Bismark on 24 May 1941.

The operation to retrieve the bell was called off on Monday after 10 days.

If recovered, the bell will be put on display at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth, in 2014.

The project has been sponsored by US philanthropist Paul G. Allen, whose 414ft luxury yacht Octopus was being used in the North Atlantic mission.

'Try again'

Crew working on the Octopus laid wreaths to honour the 1,415 naval personnel from around the world who had been on board HMS Hood when it sank.

Mr Allen said: "I was honoured to be involved in this project, and I stand ready to help the Royal Navy try again in the future.

"Recovering this bell is a way to commemorate the hundreds of brave sailors who were lost at sea, and I want to see it through."

HMS Hood Association president Rear Admiral Philip Wilcocks, whose uncle was among those killed on board HMS Hood, said: "While hugely challenging conditions have precluded a successful recovery of HMS Hood's bell on this occasion, the Hood Association continues to hope that another attempt will be made at some stage in the next year or so.


It was the biggest loss of life ever suffered by any single British warship and a major shock during the war. Only three people survived.

It was the flagship of the fleet and part of a force ordered to engage the Bismarck

Hillary doesn’t look anything like I “remember” Diane Broch, but Hillary is reportedly from a suburb of Chicago that is only 9 miles from Arlington Heights and is on the same road, although it has a different name according to the map.
