According to Saudek there is no reason to expect improvement in commercial television. He said the three major networks now provide only a game of "electronic hopscotch," with channel-hoppers discovering as little variety as they would among three rock-and-roll stations. But prospects for change seem dim, since the networks are making money, he said...
...broadly speaking, Brazil is falling behind many other advancing countries, including some of its neighbors in Latin America.

By requiring matched grants, the United States makes developing countries suffer for the stinginess or financial slumps of countries like France, Germany, or Russia. Though the United States wants to channel aid through international institutions, neither the President nor Congress will tolerate the World Bank's rule that it will not administer funds that are tagged for specific countries. And the African Development Bank is presently too inexperienced and understaffed to carry out major investment programs...
