Estimated cost: $50 billion over the next ten years...
...land-reform law will get their titles outright; until now the government has retained the deeds, both to prevent resale and to keep political control over the farmers.* But the general reaction, even among Castillo's warmest backers, was one of sharp disappointment. They were hoping for a bold, positive program to rebuild the country's political and economic life so firmly that Communism could never rise again...
