Ducks herein dealt with belong not to the quack-quack tribe. Bombay Ducks is a time-honoured A nglo Indian expression. In the palmy days of the East India Company, when the now-barren pagoda-tree showered its fruits upon a Uwho shook it, the European residents of the Western Presidency were known as Bombay Ducks to distinguish them from Bengal Qui-his and Madras Mulls. In very early times Ducks was spelt Duckys and is probably a corruption of the Latin duces leaders or -bosses. Dwellers in Bombay are no longer called ducks, nevertheless the expression Bombay Ducks or Bombay Duck st Qlsurvives. It now denotes (I know not why) brittle pieces of sun-dried fish which are eaten with curry in South I ndia. It seems to me that the animals dealt with in this volume, all of which are to be found on the Bombay side, have at least an equal right with pieces of dried fish to be called Bombay Ducks.

(There are now 3 million Central American refugees, an ent...)
There are now 3 million Central American refugees, an entrenched civil war in El Salvador, a right wing contra army fighting the Sandinista government, billions of dollars lost by the area in direct war-damage and lost production, and apparently no end in sight to the violence, tensions, or poverty. The foreign policies of the Reagan Administration, based on a concept of national security threatened by Russia in America's "backyard", are thought to have been largely responsible for this situation. In this book the author sets out democratic alternatives to current US policy, built on demilitarization and negotiation, and leading to renewed economic growth and more socially equitable patterns of development. A prerequisite of this change is peace in Central America which, he argues, can only be brought about if American motives of self-interest are, at the very least, revised.
