"We must face the fact," he said, "that any new, all-purpose, wasteproof, foolproof, and low-cost model of a foreign aid program is not yet on the drawing boards." His soft sell was all the more effective because in the past Congress has been offended by overblown claims made for foreign...

"Around here," says one I.P.C. executive, "they still think we're bastards. But we're efficient, low-cost bastards." Last week, according to I.P.C., Belaúnde was proposing what amounts to a 90-10 profit split, and that, says the company, is "just not worth the trouble...
