These lofty numbers have considerable emotional resonance. All profits from the record and its various offshoots will be turned over to USA (United Support of Artists) for Africa, a nonprofit foundation that will funnel funds through established relief agencies. Columbia is contributing its net proceeds, and the singers showed up for no salary. Ken Kragen, a personal manager whose clients include Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie, was one of the first people Harry Belafonte called.

That combination pushes down the interest rate on federal borrowings from about 10% now to 7.5% in 1989. Paying lower rates on less borrowing, the Government saves $51 billion in interest costs on the federal debt five years from...
