Across the country, new hospitals, schools, housing projects and factories are sprouting up on the hot horizon. In the privacy of their homes, many Saudis no longer fear that drinking, dancing or a little poker will bring down the wrath of Allah-or the government. Out in the desert, the country's ever-wandering Bedouins, who comprise 80% of Saudi Arabia's 3,500,000 people, are swapping their camels for Land Rovers and pickup trucks, and-thanks to a government well-drilling program that guarantees them water-are abandoning their nomadic ways and settling into community life...

The committee also had to avoid appearing to move toward European political integration, which would arouse the wrath of French President Charles de Gaulle. What resulted fell short of being a real blueprint for Europe's economic future, but as an exercise in keeping European functionaries and politicians in tune with each other, it was convincing...
...Issue. When the strike began, Chávez could count on the sympathy of only a few churchmen, mostly the radical young Protestants of the California Migrant Ministry. Gradually, more influential Christian leaders came to see in the strike a moral issue: the need to end the grapes-of-wrath poverty of the farm workers...
