...waft through her smoke-filled office, a last refuge for cigarette lovers here at TIME. Many who hated tobacco would suffer through nicotine haze just to listen. She'd been through Watergate, earthquakes and O.J., but those weren't the stories we were really interested in. It was the one she was living, the one we shared: the story of Time Inc. Marta's breadth of memory and experience at the company encompassed names and events that are history and legend--and she could tell the difference.

And you had your apolitical Luddites, who refuse to accept that growth, prosperity and upward living standards always entail some dislocation. A century ago, they tried to destroy the satanic mills of industrializing Europe. Today they want to stop the global redistribution of labor, in which previously starving Third World peasants get their start with low-paying industrial jobs while First World workers shift...
...must hear the cry for bread and schools, work and opportunity, that comes from campesinos everywhere in this hemisphere." Well, it turns out that the best cure for the poverty the left so agonized about then is precisely what the left is demonstrating against today--capitalism and trade.
