book I want to read - Giving


Bill Clinton has a new book called Giving, I'd like to read it! He was on Oprah. Mentioned a great website called kiva.org. You give loans to people, as low as $25 and 99% pay them back. It helps them get a business going

I'd love to have my own business, if I could figure out what I could possibly do.

Miranda, try the library, they often get new books - although it might be on a waiting list.

The Goldmans received a judgment against OJ in civil court that was somewhere around $35 million, give or take. OJ, naturally, has never bothered to satisfy any portion of that judgment. This is how they convinced a court to award them the rights to OJ's book. The proceeds from the sales will go against satisfying that judgment.

As I understand it... I imagine that they will then apply to their foundations.
