...Berlusconi joined Libya's ruler Muammar Gaddafi in Zuwarah last week to attend the opening of a natural-gas pipeline linking the two countries, a joint project by the Italian oil company ENI and Libya's state oil producer NOC. Both men praised the prospect of Libyan natural gas flowing to Italy, but it could prove difficult to stop the unwelcome flow of immigrants. Officials in this oil-rich state admit they are not sad to see desperately poor Africans set course for Europe.

Debt relief gives countries a predictable flow of resources free from the whims of donors. But when it's directed at poverty reduction, there's little difference between...
...nothing like 4/8/91. But those shows were mind-bending. Transcendent. I just feel bad for all the poor kids who will never get to experience that, ’cause they’re too busy with petty problems like making a living. The flow from the band to the audience that night was amazing—it was like I could touch the stage...
