I wish for healthy babies. I have lots of girlfriends who are trying to get pregnant. Some have had a rough time, others have unexpectedly found themselves “in the family way.” Regardless, for all the women out there who want to be mamas, I wish for you...

I wish for peace, especially in Africa. Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe — just a handful of countries that are devastated by famine, poverty, disease and stupid leadership. One of Africa’s greatest plagues is its lack of honest politicians. Robert...
