DeKalb isn't the only place on the globe that's getting hot. South Africa, in its newborn quest to end the reign of Apartheid, is heating up pretty well, too. And if South Africans are serious about their fight to make things better, they must be ready...

Recently a truly incredible person passed away. This person made many people open their eyes. I had never met him. He was not a movie star, or a comedian, or a nobel prize winner. He was his own kind of hero. He touched much of America, even as some of...
