Quote:
In a move he hoped would encourage philanthropy in other wealthy individuals, media mogul Ted Turner announced plans to donate $1 billion to the United Nations for humanitarian programs.
Quote:
Turner conceives the Goodwill Games, a quadrennial multi-sport international competition, in partnership with the former USSR.
Oh, ok, all his philanthropist endeavors are international efforts, my bad. He'd rather end hunger in famine-struck African countries, instead of a nation where the average weight has gone up 25 pounds
in the last fourty years.
