Ruby Jubilee on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II said, “1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an

Only viable economic opportunities can end the poverty which, according to the VP, is the root cause of environmental destruction there.
