...even $42 million is not available. Last week UNESCO Secretary-General René Maheu added up what had been gathered by passing the international hat. Egypt pledged $11.5 million. West Germany gave $1,845,000, Italy $1,800,000. India $714,000, Cuba $160.000. In all. 37 countries contributed, including Bolivia and Nepal, each of which gave $1,000, but the total is more than $22 million short...
