(Yokosuka, Kanagawa Pref., Japan, last Sunday)Such Great Faith Not Found Even in Israel
(Cette grande foi n'a jamais été retrouvé, même en Israël)
A movie depicting former South African President Mr. Nelson Mandela is going to be screened in Japan, too.
(http://mandela.gyao.jp/ )
However, the British media is not necessarily in full favor of this type of movies:
---
Fiennes said it had been a challenge to play James Gregory, who originally believed Mr Mandela should have been hanged as a terrorist…
Gregory, who died in 2003, worked in the office that handled prisoners' mail and was responsible for censoring Mandela's letters…
Mr Mandela has never confirmed Gregory's claim that they had become friends and it was reported that he considered suing the jail warden over his book…
Fiennes said he regretted not having met Gregory "because it is hard to know where the truth is".

Anyway, you had better check other heroes selected by The Time:

Then you should check “Unknown Rebel (in Beijing in 1989)”:

Almost nobody knew his name. Nobody outside his immediate neighborhood had read his words or heard him speak. Nobody knows what happened to him even one hour after his moment in the world's living rooms. But the man who stood before a column of tanks near Tiananmen Square — June 5, 1989 — may have impressed his image on the global memory more vividly, more intimately than even Sun Yat-sen…
When American newsmen asked Chinese leader Jiang Zemin a year later what had happened to the symbol of Chinese freedom — caught by foreign cameramen and broadcast around the world — he replied, not very ringingly, "I think never killed”…

Now in VOA broadcasting over the Internet, they are repeating a news report on Tibet and the visit by Ms Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, to the Dalai Lama.
Indeed, all I can say to you is that when your parents were happy singing, dancing, eating, drinking, chatting, and busy spending money for entertainment, Mr. Nelson Mandela was suffering in a prison.
Truly, while you are happy singing, dancing, eating, drinking, chatting, and busy spending money for entertainment, Tibet needs somebody who can stand and stop the convoy of tanks and police vehicles sent by leaders of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing.
(At any rate, even if you are a master of interviewing, further learn lessons from holy heroes as well as EEE-reporting and taking nice shots.)
Luk 7:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Luk 7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
Luk 7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
Luk 7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
Luk 7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
Luk 7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Luk 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Luk 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Luk 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Luk 7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
