...metals output, and chunks of its banking, electricity, transport and armaments. With a bare 17% of its investments. La Générale also controls at least half the economy of the Congo and, by cooperating with all of that nation's disputing factions, still manages to prosper...
Down with Superblocks. Successful neighborhoods, Mrs. Jacobs argues, may have all the earmarks of slums but paradoxically have great vitality.

That ability in itself might well serve as a deterrent second only to the nation's retaliatory military might in preventing an aggressor from launching his attack. It is in that realization that the U.S. Government, after years of paying lip service to civil defense, has begun to move...
