...French managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is being investigated for possible abuses of power. The findings of that inquiry - expected later this week - will not only shape the IMF's ability to navigate the world into a new, stable era of international trade, but they will also cast the fate of one of France's brightest political stars...
...That quick avowal has led most French commentators and political insiders to believe that Strauss-Kahn will emerge from the scandal intact as long as no abuse of power is substantiated.

The fate of Pakistan's government remains tightly bound to the White House, and China's booming trade with India is exponentially more lucrative than its transactions with Pakistan. Zardari's trip this week, though, is a sign of the many poles springing up in the multi-polar 21st century. Su of China Foreign Affairs University insists shoring up Pakistan's economic and industrial prospects can only be good for its historic foe. "Pakistan is such an important anti-terrorism frontier," he says. "Instability there will jeopardize the safety...
