Posted by Kenneth Anderson: Congrats to my dear friend Scott Malcomson http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_06_07-2009_06_13.shtml#1244480032
on his article in yesterday's [1]New York Times Magazine on Shakira and her nonprofit educational mission in Latin America; it occurs to me, however, that this was probably not the most disagreeable assignment in third world journalism that Scott has ever undertaken. Scott is the foreign affairs editor of the Magazine, and the author of a couple of splendid books - particularly [2]One Drop of Blood: The American Misadventure of Race. Apart from being a journalist, he was also a senior advisor at the UN to the late Sergio Vieira de Mello on complex humanitarian emergencies in the 1990s, and he has been working on developing an elegant software application/social network tool for organizations, including nonprofits, to be able to get their material, reports, data, etc., out to the public, (an idea I like in part because I favor much greater nonprofit transparency; angel investors might want to check it out with an email to KA).
