...rinderpest is done for in Nigeria; U.S.-supplied vaccine, shot into 10 million cows, saw to that. In Peru, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, 500,000 school kids get a glass of milk each morning. Fishermen in Kenya are content: the U.S. gave them new boats so they could catch fish twice as fast, and now they only work half as long. But oops! That $2.6 billion sent to Yugoslavia seems to have sunk without a trace. In Jordan a dike that cost the U.S. close to $1,000,000 meanders across the flinty desert for dozens of miles, waiting...

Throughout Latin America, the church still opposes most forms of birth control. But in some areas, individual priests are quietly going their own way. In Venezuela and Peru, they are participating without fanfare in government information programs; in Colombia, one is helping pre pare films and slides for family planning. And in Brazil, some even dispense birth-control devices to peasants. Last November, Chile's President Eduardo Frei launched a massive birth-control campaign in Santiago...
