...pellmell rush of putting up factories, dredging ports, bulldozing roads, planting new crops, nobody found time or talent to coordinate and manage all the projects. Factories were located in one part of the country, the electric power to operate them in another. Sugar mills seemed to get built near voters, not beet fields. As soon as new cement plants got into production, their output poured off into the walls of speculative apartment houses in Istanbul instead of more urgently needed factory floors. When Turkey's huge new wheat crops poured to market, no facilities were there for cleaning...

Although only ten years old, Réaltiés has built the biggest subscription circulation (191,500) of any magazine in France. In sharp contrast to many French publications, which dutifully echo the views of whichever political party may buy or back them, Réaltiés is financially and politically independent, has nothing to sell but honest reporting. "We have never had to ask for outside support," said Réaltiés Editor Alfred Max last...
