Nelson Mandela turned 90 a couple of weeks ago (and it was celebrated with a concert to raise funds for AIDS). The press has covered the event extensively with an analysis of his life, influence, and shortcomings. It would be interesting to take a look at the same, and here are some links for that.90th Birthday CelebrationBooks by Mandela:

- As per Mandela, one of the biggest regrets of his tenure as president of SA, is not doing enough for AIDS awareness
- As per his wife, one of his regrets is not being involved much in the lives of his children.
