A positive story on Bangladesh on the cover of Time (Asia) magazine.
http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/501060410/story.htmlGreat story, sweet antidote to Henry "bottomless" Kissinger and his ilk.
My only reservation is that the story pays too much attention to the politicians and not enough to the entrepreneurs who are the real force behind the progress.
BTW, I found out about this cover story from the News From Bangladesh site
