...military schools on opposite sides of Moscow. Academically, it is a five-year diet of heavily technological courses (including a first year of Russian for six hours a day). Politically, it is supposedly neuter: a benign effort to train "children of the workers" in Asia, Africa, Latin America.

Principally agricultural, Ireland has provided so few jobs that each year as many as 40,000 Irishmen immigrate, mainly to the U.S. and Canada, to find work. Two years ago, the government put together an appealing package. To the foreign industrialist, it grants a ten-year tax exemption on export profits and offers to pay the full cost of training the workers (average wage: $29 for a 44-hr, week), plus...
