Young people and their concerns are underlying themes in this issue, with stories that range from U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell's interaction with students to changing trends among working parents. We begin with "India Questions," by A. Venkata Narayana, which details Secretary Powell's meeting with students during his recent visit to New Delhi. The lively dialogue was televised on NDTV 24X7. Next, in "Students' Star Trek," Narayana tells of two Indian schoolboys, Saatvik Agarwal from Delhi and Vignan Pattamatta from Hyderabad, who were chosen for a 10-day tour at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. They were there when the latest Rover mission touched down on Mars. Narayana also talked to U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Academic Programs at the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Tom Farrell, and learned of a new Fulbright program plan that reaches out to a more diverse group of students than ever before, outlined in "Fulbright Program: Broader Horizons."

Children are among the primary victims of trafficking, and the most vulnerable are children of trafficked parents. In "Reaching for Normality," Nachammai Raman investigates some successful programs in Tamil Nadu that give the children of sex workers better options and protect them from being coerced into prostitution. The United States has intensified its efforts to fight trafficking and the criminal organizations that perpetuate it, recognizing that it is a task that demands international cooperation. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Alex Acosta told Lea Terhune about some of the firm anti-trafficking measures initiated by the U.S. domestically and abroad. See "Getting Tough with Traffickers."

More parents are opting to give their young children full-time attention, as Kim Clark relates in "Stay-at-Home Parents Are Back." A problem confronted by many parents is coping with a serious learning handicap that has only been recognized in the past 30 years. "Overcoming Dyslexia," by Betsy Morris, tells the story of several of the world's most successful, billionaire entrepreneurs who struggled with dyslexia and turned it into their biggest asset.

Despite the fact that people under 30 usually haven't much spending power, advertisers have targeted them for decades. Jonathan Dee debunks this strategy in "The Myth of '18 to 34.'" One young woman, however, has broken out of the norm and then some, with her hugely successful first album, "Come Away With Me." Rob Hoerburger profiles singer Norah Jones in "The Anti-Diva." The Grammy-winning performer, of course, is the daughter of Indian music great Ravi Shankar.

The visual arts community offered a rare treat this spring at the William Benton Museum of Art in Storrs, Connecticut, with the exhibition "Masala: Diversity and Democracy in South Asian Art." In "A Visual Feast," we share some of the works in this exciting exhibition, which drew from South Asian folk art, poster art and contemporary art of the Diaspora and the West.

On the economic front, "Below the Bottom Line" presents a collection of short essays by various thinkers about the social responsibility of corporations in the modern world. C.K. Prahalad, Samuel Ostrow, Jeremy Rifkin and Vijay Govindarajan, among others, discuss the impact of corporations pursuing goals such as ending world hunger, seeking social justice and redistributing wealth. And "Patents Go Global," by Evan I. Schwartz, examines the thorny question of how to standardize the patent process in a way that is internationally acceptable: no easy thing when more than a hundred different licensing regimes exist.

Our cover highlights a new collaborative study done by the Wildlife Institute of India in Dehradun, with support of the Smithsonian and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that has yielded some surprising information. "Wolves: Did They Originate in South Asia?" by Dipesh Satapathy, surveys the background and results of the research.

We hope you enjoy these and the other features in this issue.
