What I remember are the families who often had barely enough to eat but always put a plate for me at their table , and the kids . But it was well known that in the country the ' caciques ' were still powerful enough to prevent a fair vote . These agencies have decided that preventing conflicts of interest is important enough to merit an expenditure of resources beyond what is compulsory . The stream was strong with the winter floods , and the roar of it as it poured down the rocky cleft was enough to make all voices inaudible , and to deaden more or less even the sound of one 's thoughts buzzing in one 's head with the passion and the sweep of them , themselves like a hurrying stream . No matter how well engineered , how can such a system really operate quickly and precisely enough to be effective ?
