...could hardly have guessed the extent of the mess he would inherit from his purged predecessor. Last week Yusupov published a report charging that more than $600 million had been wasted during the last three years on ill-conceived projects; no fewer than 16,139 regional officials were fired last year alone, 2,340 of them for stealing and embezzling $1,270,000.

The new dam will water 360.000 acres, and provide electricity even for the province's remotest villages and five cities, including the oil-refining center of Abadan. opening the way for industrialization...
...made in the Chalcidice-and guessed that this indicated a sizable local lode of metal. He reasoned that much of the metal would still be in the earth, since the early Greeks had primitive mining machinery and thus could dig only shallow mines. Xenarios finally homed in on a region known as Skouries (meaning "deposits of rust") which had the typical copper field's tree-barren look. By careful exploration, he located the ancient mines...
