On Tuesday evening in Manhattan - exactly one week after we first heard intimations of the dreadful news from Port au Prince - there will be a benefit for the victims at Idlewild Books, on 19th Street in Chelsea. I do hope those of you who can come, will come: we need to do everything and anything to help.
