Editor’s Corner
Every World Children’s Festival has the quality of a miracle
because of the hope that children bring and the new ideas
they carry back to improve their lives and communities. At

tivities ended just as abruptly, clearing the skies to create a
double-rainbow over The Ellipse next to The White House Alejandro Goldzycher, Page 22
where the festival was being held. Everyone gasped at this
rarest of sights.
