RI President Klinginsmith talks with Forbes.com

about the fight to eradicate polio 

Klinginsmith sits down with Forbes.com  to talk about

 the impact Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation have made toward eradicating polio.

White Elephant Because albino elephants are so rare, custom at the court

of the King of Siam used to decree that they be given noth-

ing but the best by their owners. So whenever a courtier 

angered him badly, the King used to announce that he

was planning, as a mark of his special regard, to presentthe man with one of his own royal white elephants. The

courtier then had to choose between insulting the King by

refusing the gift or being ruined by the expense of keeping

it. Mostly, the luckless courtiers decamped in a hurry - as

the King had hoped. The phrase was brought into the Eng-

lish language by travellers to Siam who had witnessed

the court custom. It now means any useless and burden-

some gift.
