What Africa needs is sustained development programs, homegrown where possible, assisted by the outside world when that makes sense. It needs investment in human capital, in women's health and education, in infrastructure (the imperial powers were not wrong about that), in trading regimes that enable African nations to export their produce without protectionist barriers. Get those fundamentals right and there is no reason why Africa should not feed itself again...
Doctors argue that what may seem like a low-risk pregnancy can go very wrong at the time of delivery--and that making home birth easier to access could lead to a huge step backward. After birthing moved to hospitals en masse in the 1950s, the maternal mortality rate plummeted, from 376 per 100,000 live births in 1940 to 37.1 per 100,000 in 1960. The most recent statistics show 15.1 deaths per 100,000. Many doctors fear that mortality rates will go up with the rising incidence of home birthing, but there are conflicting data on this...
...wasn't convinced. "I think he is. He went to Muslim schools." I was so glad I never told her about the Zen Buddhism course I took in college. I asked Mama Ann if perhaps her problem is that Obama is African American, but she told me I was wrong, even when I accused her of being unhappy with the recent influx of blacks into her area.

...question, this time much more loudly. "Yeah," she said. I cautiously asked why. "You gave me his good qualities. You ought to run for something as a politician."

He needs to set up phone banks where kids call their grandparents, say they're for Obama and just talk nonsense, as I did. Even if it doesn't work, would it have killed them to pick up the phone...
Surviving Disaster "How to Survive a Disaster," [june 23] was wrong about fire-drill requirements in New York City. The idea that the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) opposes such drills is also completely false. REBNY has consistently supported mandatory, semiannual fire drills, as well as evacuation drills. Because of the danger involved with having people travel down as many as 40 to 60 flights of stairs, and after learning that two heart attacks had resulted, the industry - working with the fire department - agreed that drills shouldn't require walking all the way to the street. Instead, drills...
