...program should be greatly expanded. Then if UNRWA disappears, a new agency, possibly with World Bank financial backing, should give refugees jobs building such public works as dams and irrigation schemes in the Arab countries in which they now live. Jordan and the United Arab Republic have approved the plan "in principle...
President Black, accompanied by his top aides, flew to New Delhi with fresh proposals aimed at a final settlement. If both sides could agree, the World Bank would help raise the estimated $600 million needed to put the plan into operation. One stumbling block is that India would have to put up a substantial part of the funds to build link canals and reservoirs in Pakistan to replace water that India diverted for itself.

What emerges is an allegory on whatever the reader chooses-the perversity of man, the bright illusion of love, the red-eyed aurochs of war. Dotted throughout the book are moon-mad digressions-a plan to enroll farm boys in the Joy Scouts of America, hike them into Harlem for instruction in reefer rolling; a 14-page hypothesis, mostly in verse, on why Ireland is underpopulated (it wasn't the snakes, Goodman theorizes, that nearsighted St. Patrick banished...
