W: When I was getting divorced in 1975, reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldn’t let him in. He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. I just couldn’t believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves as having the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesn’t matter how personal the matter may be.People don’t trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in order to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, it’s usually buried among advertisements. I’ve received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know what’s true in the press these days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious, responsible and honest reporters. Don’t judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers or see on television news. Besides reporters, who else were camped out for days outside the speaker’s home
In its most extreme form, poverty is a lack of basic human needs, such as adequate and nutritious food, clothing, housing, clean water, and health services. Extreme poverty can cause terrible suffering and death, and even poverty can prevent people from realizing many of their desires. The world’s poorest people--many of whom live in developing areas of Africa, Asia, Latin America. and Eastern Europe--struggle daily for food, shelter, and other necessities. They often suffer from severe malnutrition(营养不良), infectious disease outbreaks, famine, and war. In wealthier countries--such as the United States, Canada, Japan, and those in Western Europe--the effects of poverty may include poor nutrition, mental illness, drug dependence, crime, and high rates of disease.Extreme poverty, which threatens people’s health or lives, is also known as destitution or absolute poverty. Relative poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or county, or compared to worldwide averages.The reasons for poverty are not clear. Some people believe that poverty results from a lack of adequate resources on a global level--resources such as land, food, and building materials--that are necessary for the well-being or survival of the world’s people. Other see poverty as an effect of the uneven distribution Of resources around the world on an international or even regional scale. This second line of reasoning helps explain why many people have much more than they need to live in comfort, while many others do not have enough resources to live.
