The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.
US President Gerald Ford's golf was so bad we thought he was a 'Hitman for the PGA!
Gerald Ford was unknown throughout America. Now he's unknown throughout the world.
