Finally, after a parting punch at Pea Ridge, the twister petered out under the sullen, sultry cumulonimbus that had spawned it.

So far, it has proved an unsuccessful experiment, torpedoed in several instances by prickly national and even tribal sensitivities and by the fear of bureaucrats that cooperation would eliminate duplication of ministries-and hence their jobs. Though it is a geographical entity, for example, Africa suffers from such deep and profound differences as to make it seem like a collection of different worlds.
