Practical Answer. One man who accepts neither alternative is the Rev. John Schocklee, a priest in a low-income area in St. Louis. His solution: bussing slumdwellers out of the central city so that they can shop in a farmers' market. A more practical answer is the cooperative. Manhattan's Morningside Heights Consumer Cooperative, a clean, friendly store on the fringes of Harlem, not only offers prices as low or lower than commercial outlets but also gives a 4.3% rebate on each customer's annual purchases.

A key base is tucked away in Cambodia's "Parrot's Beak...
Stick & Carrot. On Dec. 1, 1934, Sergei Mironovich Kirov, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was assassinated in Leningrad. It was this event that Stalin chose to use as the excuse to rid himself of all potential opposition-real and imagined-and to inflict the cult of terror that would ensure his dictatorship...
