Plainly, it would be a mistake to let the momentum of aid slip further. Over the past few years, 41 poor countries have managed to achieve yearly growth rates of 2% or better in per-capita income, despite sharp population increases.

If the report's proposed aid increases are adopted, and if population growth can be held down-two enormous ifs -they might make it. If not, Pearson's "village...
...Gogolak in 1965. He is already making Dallas fans-and coaches -forget about the premature retirement of Don Perkins.

"If anyone on their side had called for a recount we probably couldn't have voted on the war. But President Pusey called the question.
