| Susan Berresford | “The program we designed [the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program], which we're funding to the tune of $300 million — the largest single grant in the history of the foundation — is just wrapping up its first year. Over the next ten years, it will support about thirty-five hundered people around the world for up to three years of graduate study. And we hope they will not only take advantage of this opportunity — paid in full, anywhere in the world — but that they will return to their home countries and begin to function effectively as leaders. Eventually, we think that out of this group will emerge some extraordinary world leaders — at least we hope so. We do need to be thinking consciously about where the next generation of world leaders is going to come from.” | Susan Berresford | 28 May 2002 |
| Andrew Carnegie | “Andrew Carnegie was regarded in his day not just as a robber baron but--after the Homestead Strike of 1892, in which hired guards killed seven striking steelworkers--as a plutocrat with blood on his hands. He reshaped his image by giving away most of his fortune during his lifetime, and today he is remembered less for the strike than for his phrase 'the man who dies...rich dies disgraced.'” | Andrew Carnegie Andy Serwer Jeanne Lee | |
| Jeffrey Epstein | “not just a sex criminal, that's what they want to paint him as exclusively; he was a financial criminal who dabbled in sex crimes.” | Jeffrey Epstein Whitney Webb | |
| Malaria | “The growing dominance of malaria research by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation risks stifling a diversity of views among scientists and wiping out the health agency’s policy-making function” | Arata Kochi | 2008 |
