If we solved all our economic problems and failed to build loving families, it would profit us nothing, because the family is the place where the future is created good and full of love-or deformed...

The collapse of the sardine industry in the Delta, for example, has been balanced by the creation of a rich new fishery in the Aswan reservoir. The Nile's increased salinity turns out to have been exaggerated; the salt level, the scientists found, is up only 10% to 15%, not yet enough to damage most crops.
