...Anderson's goal is to make aid to underdeveloped countries a cooperative free-world undertaking. At the World Bank-IMF meeting in New Delhi in October 1958, Anderson sponsored a proposal to increase World Bank funds by doubling the member nations' commitments to guarantee World Bank bonds. At the same meeting, Anderson unwrapped a U.S. plan to set up an International Development Association (with the U.S. contributing one-third of the capital) to make loans that, unlike World Bank loans, would be repayable in the borrowing country's own currency, no matter how soft.

One of the townspeople-whom no one really remembered-who set forth to make his fortune in the New World was a Genoese foundling named Leopoldo Pietro Saturno, whom a San Marco farmer and his wife adopted to help with the chores. At 20 he left for the U.S. and settled on an irrigated farm beside Reno's Truckee River. Soon he was able to send back to San Marco for his bride-his village sweetheart, Teresa Tissians. By the time he died in 1919, Leopoldo had raised five children and laid the foundations of a fortune...
