Change is a loaded word. It signifies a break from the present, even from the past, and throws out a spark in a new direction, not always for the better. It's a word sloganeers go to bed with. Catch phrases like "Be the change", "Change the world" and its other permutations occurs with great regularity around the world. It's a theme on which our politicians have spun various myths in the past month—with four states going to vote, perhaps they didn't have a choice.
Change is also the theme that our March issue deals with. We bring you two sides of change, one of the more questionable kind, and the other, a powerful tale of self-transformation, the kind the world needs to see more of.
