An extraordinary person

Goa's phone numbers change from Nov 10, 2002. Prefix old number with a 2. New 
numbers will be seven-digit 2XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the old number).

Dear all,

It is easy to be jaded and cynical about the political leadership in the world 
today, including
the failure of the major religions, even secular institutions, to gain peace 
and justice for all.

I had the honor of hearing Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan 
(http://www.loksatta.org/org_people.htm) at
dinner two days ago here in California about his vision for change, his fight 
against injustice
and hopes for the vast majority of disenfranchised Indians.  His group Lok 
Satta (People Power,
www.loksatta.org) has made progress in Andhra Pradesh and one hopes similar 
initiatives can
transform Goa.  

Hope springs eternal...

Regards,
George
