Globovision of Caracas reports news that we hope is inaccurate, and which will be denied by former President Carter.

My Comment: Millions of lives have been destroyed because of the cocoa leaf. Former President Carter's willingness to cultivate it does disservice to all of those who have suffered because of it.
