Nonetheless, the African trade bill could benefit from the impractical idealism of the World Bank proposal. The bill has had so many "protections" for American companies added by the U.S. textile lobby that many of the bill's original benefits now cannot be realized. The most harmful new stipulation is that African companies hoping to gain duty-free access to the U.S. textile market must buy American fabrics. The cost of buying and then shipping the fabric to Africa would be so prohibitively expensive that only the largest companies could afford to do so. Indeed, the most likely scenario...
...other countries cannot only forgive debts, as they have recently begun to do. The most effective way to lift nations out of poverty is by stimulating their economies and increasing their exports by opening up international markets to them. But the U.S., like many other countries including Japan and France, remains highly sensitive to opening its markets, particularly for agricultural imports.

He has created a character of heroic proportions, a woman who endures unimaginable hardships, years of exile in a forced labor camp, to escape Soviet Russia. In the process, he has deprived his protagonist of a more human face...
...pain. As special as this rally is--and it is indeed special, as there are too few opportunities on this campus for survivors of violence to receive the love and care of a large group of their peers--we must also recognize the limitations of the TBTN rally. We cannot be lured into thinking that the experiences and pain that people speak about during the rally do not exist before TBTN, nor can we think that they will end right after the rally. We need to sustain the energy from TBTN after this week to keep on solving the problems...
