...absent-minded way the United States may well have stumbled upon the answer to "wars of national liberation." The effective response lies neither in the quest for conventional military victory nor in the esoteric doctrines of counter-insurgency warfare. It is instead forced-draft urbanization and modernization which rapidly bring the country in question out of the phase in which a rural revolutionary movement can hope to generate sufficient strength to come to power...

But, Steptoe said with evident satisfaction, "I was able to show that the tubes were absent." Lesley, he explained, had had an operation in 1970 to clear her blocked tubes?but with no success. After she was referred to Steptoe in 1976, he did an exploratory operation and found "there were mere remnants of her tubes." Because these remnants blocked his access to the ova, Steptoe...
