Former president: Philanthropy key to changing world

In LR, Clinton talks to top donors

Former President Clinton urged a gathering of America's biggest philanthropists Monday to view economic, environmental and social challenges facing the world as an opportunity to make a difference.

Clinton spoke for about an hour at his library in Little Rock on the second day of a conference on philanthropy hosted by Slate magazine, which publishes an annual list of the 60 most generous Americans.

The former president said he was optimistic that climate change, poverty and ethno-religious tension could be overcome. If they aren't, "we'll reap the whirlwind," he said.
