CAPITALISM'S VALUES

The newspapers are full of stories about half a million children dying of lack of food, clean water and basic medical care in East Africa. We can also read about millions of people trying to survive on less than $1.25 a day. Contrast all that with how our parasitical masters live."Supermodel Linda Evangelista is asking French billionaire Francois Henri-Pinault for $46,000 a month in child support. He's the father of Ms. Evangelista's four-year-old son, Augustin James. And Ms. Evangelista argues that $46,000 is the minimum required to provide for young Augustin in the manner to which he has grown accustomed." (Wall Street Journal, 3 August) RD
