"There are parasites of all kinds in poor countries.

"One variety is intestinal, the worms that afflict countless children. In a hospital here in Angola, nurses pointed to a little girl named Marcelina, whom they said was at risk of dying from anemia caused by worms and malnutrition. She had so many worms she was spitting them up.

"The other kind of parasite afflicting Angolan children is the crooked official, often working with Western executives. It's not a coincidence that Angola is a center for both kinds of parasites."
