It is related also...
When Correspondent Hobbing asked a group of them what they wanted, the answers came fast. "Water, tools, seed, schools, doctors." And they know, as their fathers did not, how their ragged plight looks to the rest of the world. When Hobbing asked a group of peasants if they had ever been to a movie, they laughed.
