Even if space had arrived soon enough for Mr. Clarke, millions would still be leading starved and stunted lives. Hunger is the result of man's greed and injustice, not of limited resources. If we have rich and poor nations-and rich and poor within nations-what's to stop our children in space from having rich and poor planets? The worst is yet to come...
...thought Jimmy Carter was just not a big enough man for the job of President. Oh, farmers never had such good prices. The oil companies were making plenty, said Ted.

To American experts who have studied Somoza's corrupt regime, both estimates, however, appeared surprisingly low. Most valuations of the dynasty's holdings were between $500 million and $1 billion; they included Nicaragua's national air line, Lanica...
