This week, we take a look at two big stories in two big magazines: the Atlantic covers how the Obama administration is looking to support gay rights around the world, to the resistance and chagrin of certain African nations; and the Economist profiles Nigerian finance minster Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Also on our radar are stories about the sudden protest that stopped business in South Africa, and an anti-bribery website that’s looking for better global support.
