Without a healthy work force, the economy stagnated as businesses and factories such as Chand's ice-cream factory, which had paid for a five-bedroom house and three servants, closed overnight. Replacing them were an army of quacks, fly-by-night nongovernmental organizations and lawyers. After fighting compensation claims in the courts for five years, Union Carbide paid out $470 million, but victims often received only $500 for injuries...

One of the best series is produced by African Cream, a Johannesburg company started in 2001 by former hotel developer Alex Agulnik. The Great South African Trip features tunes from local favorites Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Johnny Clegg, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Hugh Masekela; Lullabies from Mama Africa is a wonderful collection of traditional songs sure to soothe crying babes.
