Mother Teresa statue tangled in UN protocol
UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations has denied a report it rejected a gift
from Albania of a statue of the late Mother Teresa -- but proved in the
process that even a near saint's likeness can run afoul of UN protocol.

A UN spokesman on Friday said the Albanian UN mission ''has, in fact, been
consulting with the UN Arts committee with a view to presenting a gift.''

''There has been some discussion about a presentation of a statue of Mother
Teresa, but there is nothing formal on the table right now,'' spokesman Fred
Eckhard insisted, denying a report that an offer had actually been been made
and turned down on artistic grounds. ''We have no opinion on the quality of
the statue in question,'' he added.

But hinting that protocol was the real issue, he said the United Nations was
''waiting to hear from Albania about a gift which, according to established
practice,'' he pointedly noted, ''should be representative of the culture or
art of the state presenting it.''

He then recalled that Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, the capital of what
is now the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia, adding, ''therein lies the
rub.''

He was delicately questioning whether a statue of an ethnic Albanian born in
Macedonia but of Indian nationality, who spent most of her life ministering
to the poor in India, would be ''representative of the culture or art'' of
Albania. (Reuters)


 Today, candor compels us to admit that our vaunted two-party system is a
snare and a delusion, a fraud upon the nation. Our two parties have become
nothing but two wings of the same bird of prey...
