I glanced at the front page of the N.Y. TIMES today and there's a positively wierd story: the good gray TIMES tells us that it's no longer the colonial powers (England, France, etc.) that run Africa, it's no longer the superpowers (the US & some other country whose name I forget :-)) that run Africa. No -- the new outsiders dictating policy to the Africans are the bankers! Maybe I didn't get to the rest of the story where the TIMES tells us that this is a good thing... A thought: the distinction between a "fact" and a "value" is that the former appears in the news section of the TIMES while the latter appears in the editorials. in value-free (or is it worthless?) solidarity, Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Econ.
