However, you are unfair to the Zambian government when you state that "the final payoff could be delayed for decades" because, you state, the compensation proposed by the Zambians could not possibly exceed $5,000,000 a year from the two groups' sales of copper...
...Arab military capability. As the Arabs improve under Russian tutelage, however, they will grow increasingly impatient to tackle the Israelis once more-and invite another humiliation. As one Russian military adviser recently told an East European ambassador in Cairo, it will take "a generation" for Egyptian military skills to exceed Israel's.

In addition, ugly rumors came to the Dame's attention that some tractors occasionally exceed Sark's 10-m.p.h. speed limit. Sark's pubs pose another problem. Though the drinking hours (8 a.m. to 11 p.m.) compare favorably to those in Britain, residents often carry on past closing time-and some of those residents are members of the parliament.
