With the newspapers packed with one disaster after another, it's difficult to know where to turn in search of good news. In these difficult times we don't ask for much; if we can't have good news, bland headlines will suffice. In this respect, I was well served in today's International Herald Tribune:
President says the response to crisis must be global
Learning from the past while preparing for the future
Toward collective decision-making and increased stability in the region
Looking into new realities and exploring new trends
Successful policies of the resource-rich
Regional think tank of global interest
Toward sustainable post-crisis growth
Applied research is key for development
Opening doors for foreign investors
Unfortunately, these cheering headlines were all taken from what is politely known as an "advertising supplement" entitled "Kazakhstan: After the crisis, opportunity". Oh, well.
