Budget woes test Peace Corps' mission - The Boston Globe

Budget woes test Peace Corps' mission - The Boston Globe: "Nearly a half century later, Kennedy's dream is still far from being realized. The Peace Corps, which reached a record 15,000 volunteers in 1966, now is barely half that size. Budget constraints are forcing the agency to cut another 400 volunteers, as post-9/11 security costs and the global drop in the value of the dollar strain the Peace Corps' resources."
