  3. Making Baltimore home for refugees

    "Welcome to America." It's a traditional greeting that implicitly embodies notions of acceptance, hope and opportunity.

  4. Obama and the Jews

    Franklin D. Rooseveltreceived 85 percent to 90 percent of the Jewish vote in 1932, 1936, and 1940. How was it, then, that in the run-up to the 1944 election, FDR's top Jewish supporters were worried that he might lose a significant portion of the Jewish vote?

  11. Hearing Dadaab's cries

    —As the small plane entered the pattern to land at this town on the eastern edge of Kenya, the view from the window was of miles and miles of scrubby landscape, low trees and bushes almost the same brown color as the sandy earth beneath them.

They were covered with the ubiquitous brown dust that would soon blow in my face as I stepped onto the tarmac.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said that nearly 4 million Somalis — half the country's population — were in imminent danger of starvation. Unless the international community takes immediate steps to address the crisis, the loss of life there could rival that of the humanitarian emergencies in Sudan in 1998, Ethiopia in 2001 and Niger in 2005.
