But if Clinton were further to the left wouldn't the business community
portray him as to the left of Jesse Jackson and Paul Wellstone, and then
wouldn't the "pollerate" find him even further to the left? Would the
Democratic right-wing oppose his "liberal" policies even more? Isn't his

Questions about IMF:
1. What interest rate does the IMF charge on loans
to countries/central banks?
2. How long do governments typically have to pay
back what it has borrowed from the IMF?
3. When the IMF loans money to a country or to a central
bank, the borrowing government experiences the pa

The verdict in favor of Oprah Winfrey raises a number of interesting
political and economic questions. Before reviewing them, it might be useful
to take a look at how the beef industry currently produces its commodities.

The March 9 issue of The Nation has an article _Polling Clinton's Appeal_.
The main conclusions are:
1. Polls reveal a general public misconcpetion about Clinton's political
standing;
2. People generally perceive him as being much farther to the left than he

I believe it was Jonathan Edwards, the Boston-area folkie (not
colonial-era preacher) who penned a song about Jack Johnson and the
