...that time has already come. For the past six years, the 25 million farmers and nomads fatalistically accepted each dry season, expecting that rains would soon follow. They never did. Crops withered, grazing land turned barren, and lakes and wells dried up. Many Africans became so hungry that they ate their breeding cattle and seed grain, thus condemning themselves to total dependence on outside help. Unless they receive aid, they will be unable to plant new crops or raise new herds even if the rains do come. The Sahel's flat savannas, which once supported the blue-and black...
Shapiro and I went to a crumby joint (hardly the "best food in the world") whre we ate and argued. He made it quite clear he dislikes the communist Party for Workers Power (Workers Power, for short), which I'm a member of. He's against the "overly serious pro-worker approach through which people in and around the Worker-Student Alliance Caucus (WSA) helped build and lead SDS from '67 to '72. And he made it perfectly clear he opposed Workers Power members (many of whom were deeply involved in this earlier organizing) building this same type of movement...
...optimistically forgetting that this time of year there would be no early morning rise.) Hurtling in our Maverick through the New Hampshire night, decidedly less grand than a Tom Wolfe passenger train (carrying only our tackle with us instead of the metaphorical baggage for a nation), we safely arrived, ate and went to sleep.

...government for Australia's 14% inflation rate; it will almost certainly gain ground in rural areas where farmers are upset at Labor's abolition of longstanding tax concessions. But Whitlam can effectively argue that Labor's social program has been blocked by an obstreperous Sen ate, while in foreign affairs the country has gained a stronger and more independent voice. Whitlam, 58, is also a more popular and commanding figure than the untried Snedden, 47, a former Perth newsboy who took over as Liberal leader after the 1972 elections. The race will be close. But most observers...
...Dollars a Day as the bible of the entire under-$1000-a-tour set. Frommer's ideas of nutrition have always been questionable--he recommends subsistence diets of french fries and mayonnaise, one reason why rancid bathroom stalls all over Western Europe bear the graffiti "Arthur Frommer ate here." Worse, the sheer popularity of his book is discouraging: Long lines of students form each morning at quiet "hideaways" Frommer recommends, each tired traveler trying to make his worn yellow paperback edition as inconspicuous as possible. The whole packing-for-summer-camp attitude is even more objectionable. Frommer has a word...
