but Mr. Mahindra, a "representative of the business community", was very good. Now a woman from Chad is speaking as a "representative of civil society".

The woman from Chad was amazing and her comments explained how much impact climate change has already had there. They are going to Leo Dicaprio. His first sentences were really good.

JK wrote the truth in his "Times 100" essay when he said that Leo is for real. Strong words, and call for action.

You are correct that JK wrote the truth. The kids' part was a wonderful idea and beautiful. The lovely young girl who spoke was amazing - and so poised.

If you carefully watch the State Department video, you see Alexandra in a white jacket moving past the front of the seated people and then moving back across after Kerry signed, kissed the little girl and stood up -- oddly, I saw it only because the usa today video stopped at that point. http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2016/04/22/83386572/
(It makes complete sense to let her quickly get the child if things did not go well. )
