...gain. For Al Carnesale, alas! appointment came too late And nuclear power will march on to its fate. The year's been, well, preliminary for Robert Klitgaard--If he could get things finished, maybe next won't be as hard. Across the world, leaders lift their glasses and then drain--Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, toast Saddam Hussein. Let Giscard D'Estaing drink with Yassir Arafat Deng Hsiao-ping, have one on Anwar Sadat.
