"The Reagan administration has been so preoccupied with domestic matters that they haven't really paid attention to two-thirds of humanity," says Yale University economist Gustav Rands, seen here in his office on campus. He previews the upcoming summit at Cancun, Mexico when presidents and premiers from eight "northern" industrial countries and 14 "southern" developing countries will meet to discuss future relations between the rich and poor nations of the world. He feels that the real action will be in behind-the-scenes talks, not in the public rhetoric.
