Food and oil wars drive world tension in Rome and Washington
The Food For Thought Organization met in Rome to discuss global hunger while global leaders ignored population restraint. Bergland warned half a billion undernourished with rising numbers and aid from rich nations, amid calls for shared responsibility. In Washington, cables say Iran hostage crisis could push U S policy toward stronger support for Israel, with tensions over West Bank settlements and mistrust of Carter. Oil firms counter with ads, tout profits, and fund Media Institute to discredit financial reporting.
