Friday's Daily Brief: Arianna Interviews Jeff Skoll, Greek Exit Looms, Egyptian Election Run-Off, Arrest Made in Etan Patz Case, Plus James Franco, Bill Moyers

Friday, May 25, 2012 Arianna Huffington: The Inspirationals: Jeff Skoll, Doubling Down on the Things That Work Arianna Huffington: The Edmonton Journal recently called Jeff Skoll "the greatest Canadian you've never heard of." But, in fact, Skoll, beyond being the first president of eBay, has been a pioneer in the world of cutting edge philanthropy. Today, he is being presented with Canada's highest civilian honor, the Order of Canada, for his wide-ranging philanthropic work. The Order, which will be presented by Governor General David Johnston, carries the motto Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam ("They desire a better country"). This fits Skoll, but only to a degree. He has gone far beyond merely desiring a better country, and indeed a better world, to empowering people to achieve solutions everywhere in the world. Here is my interview with him -- a man who fits perfectly in our Inspirationals series, combining, as he does, an audacious vision, an innovative mind, and a deeply empathetic heart.

I had heard so many good things about it from people who love theater. They kept telling me, "It would make a great movie." Bill Moyers: On Memorial Day Weekend, America Reckons With Torture If we really want to honor the Americans in uniform who gave their lives fighting for their country, we'll redouble our efforts to make sure we're worthy of their sacrifice; we'll renew our commitment to the rule of law, for the rule of law is essential to any civilization worth dying for. Ben Patton: This Memorial Day: Listen Many of the men and women in uniform returning to civilian communities in the next few years will be largely isolated from those they once fought alongside, or other veterans who might understand. This, my father and grandfather would have easily understood. Marlo Thomas: The Fight Against Bullying -- Kids Take Charge Adults often underestimate children's ability to grasp the heart of a concept -- or run with an idea of their own -- but we're wrong. They're a lot smarter and more take-charge than we think. We're seeing that ability take hold now with bullying.
