The tragedy of Zimbabwe - A NY Times editorial today, titled "The Disastrous Mr. Mugabe," reveals this fact: "With hyperinflation making its currency almost worthless, Zimbabwe is running short of basic commodities like milk, cooking oil and gasoline. Fewer than one in four Zimbabweans have jobs, and life expectancy, nearly 60 in 1990, has plunged into the 30s." Damn.

I'm trying to imagine a life expectancy of 30.
