De-velop_Mented is a sporadically-issued periodical produced by Zappalachian nomads on $150 laptops. Due to limitations on bandwidth and frequent aid-financed power outages, I have only been able to get the headlines to the stories, and even that only occasionally. Any stories that Zappalachian exiles wish to file can be send to William.Easterly@nyu.edu
