      abstract = {In June of 2002, a ceremony begins in a village in western  Kenya. Hundreds of Maasai surround an American diplomat to  bestow a gift on the American people. The gift is as  unsought and unexpected as it is extraordinary. A mere nine  months have passed since the September 11 attacks, and  hearts are raw. Tears flow freely as these legendary  warriors offer their gift to a grieving people half a world  away. Word of the gift will travel news wires around the  globe. Many will be profoundly touched, but for Americans,  this selfless gesture will have deeper meaning still. For a  heartsick nation, the gift of fourteen cows emerges from  the choking dust and darkness as a soft light of hope and  friendship.},
