...cheese away was not all that simple. Government lawyers were afraid that distributing it to people who receive food stamps would be illegal, since one section of the Food Stamp Act of 1977 put severe restrictions on gifts of commodities to them. But Congress in the new farm till specified that the food-stamp law should not interfere with the distribution of surplus commodities. In most states the cheese came too late for a Christmas present, although the first giveaways, in California, Nevada and Texas, were made last Wednesday. More cheese should be on the tables of the poor...
...WILL do no good to convert more people to a wrongheaded Christianity; it is the Church itself that must be converted, or perhaps rejuvenated, till it resembles the early, activist, Christian church.

...Mercedes while their owners indulge Gucci tastes in smart boutiques. Foreign banks and trading companies compete for expensive floor space in new high-rise office buildings. Yet near by, millions of lower-and middle-class residents crowd ramshackle dwellings in fetid slums, and millions of fellahin till fields of wheat and rice in the Nile Delta as seasonal workers for $2 a day. In Egypt, a patina of superficial prosperity gilds a fragile economic core. The revenues from new trade policies and foreign investment are flowing to an all too visible superclass of the very rich. But at the same...
