I wish to be in Bolivia slightly over 65 million years ago, to travel along the shores of the vast inland sea that covered the country, looking out for herds of lumbering tyrannosaurs, and to convince myself that there really was once a sea here that turned into the Andean mountain range, rising over 4,000 metres high.

I would like the world to get its act together and address the top priorities where a very limited amount of money could do the very best for the worlds future: commit an extra US$50 billion to curbing HIV/AIDS, micronutrient malnutrition and malaria, while ending the trade and agricultural subsidies that hamper growth in the third world.
