1990 Time (Nexis) 5 Nov. 36 The program that helped Rickenbacker secure her loan is part of a worldwide effort to use ‘microlending’ to provide credit to people without collateral.

1993 U.S. News & World Rep. 25 Jan. 65/3 Taub argues that few participants in American microlending programs ultimately take loans and start businesses.
