seE | The Viaduct of Millau



THE VIADUCT OF MILLAU opened last December. Designed by British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world and is more than 50 feet higher than the Eiffel Tower. Millau, France has a population of approximately 22,000. The town was a traffic nightmare before the bridge opened - now a 15-mile stretch of the valley that once took three hours to drive is now only 20 minutes. The bridge is one of the finest accomplishments in civil engineering.

caP | 0.16 to Africa
"MR. BLAIR WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL in his broader effort to persuade the United States to set a timetable for increasing its overall foreign aid to a level equal to 0.7 percent of national income by 2015. That step would require a much larger contribution by the United States, which currently provides 0.16 percent, the smallest percentage of any of the Group of 8 countries.
