...final hours the delegates also managed to make some potentially significant recommendations on a system of world food reserves; the details are to be worked out in future meetings. They agreed in general terms to establish a permanent gram stockpile to help hunger-stricken areas in future emergencies. In a gesture that was strongly supported by the U.S. delegation, wealthy countries were called on to supply 10 million tons of grain to food-short areas for each of the next three years, until the permanent stockpile can be built up. In addition, an early warning system providing world crop information...
...seen if the various blocs can overcome their differences and actually implement these agreements by supplying the huge amounts of grain and money needed. The long-range proposals did little to help the millions who may not survive until the next harvest. Hope was briefly raised that immediate gram needs-estimated by the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization to be at least 8 million tons in South Asia and Africa-might be met when Canada and Australia together pledged 1.5 million tons of short-term aid. But the U.S., the Soviet Union and the EEC did not make...
...Journalists Marc Hillel, 46, a French Jew, and his wife Clarissa Henry, 36, a French citizen of English Protestant parentage. In a 400-page book on Le-bensborn to be published in France in January and in a stark, 2½%-hour documentary film, the Hillels trace the pro gram's grotesque course.

Once the heroin arrives, it may be sold on the streets of Amsterdam for between $40 and $60 a gram. Much of it, however, is shipped to markets all over Europe, including the U.S. Seventh Army bases in West Germany. There are few obstacles to the intra-European smuggling, since border inspections have all but ceased within the Common Market...
...providentially handy Geiger counter assures Merle's survivors that the doomsday Bomb was at least a "clean" one. Some livestock have survived, along with a supply of gram, guns, the wine cellar and Comte's collection of shirts, which sounds as opulent as Jay Gatsby's. Malevil's tribe establishes a sort of feudal agrarian Communism. The band soon discovers that a scattering of other people near by have also survived the holocaust, among them some young women, who conveniently become Malevil's communal wives and future breeding stock. A band of loot ers begins...
