NYT on IMF

[Doug Henwood]

The NY Times is peerless when it takes on the big issues of political 
economy. From an article in today's issue by David Stout on Horst 
Köhler, managing director-designate of the IMF:

"The fund was founded in 1946 to promote economic stability around 
the world, partly through loans to countries in need. From time to 
time, it has been accused of straying from its original mission and 
trying ineffectually to bring about profound social changes."

"From time to time." "Straying." "Ineffectually." The Onion couldn't 
do better than this.
