Harvard's implicit condoning of such illicit and immoral government practice raises serious questions about the role of its Institute of International Development. If Harberger were to succeed as its Director, what future policies and predictions might we expect from a prestigious organization that exerts considerable influence in world economic advising, such as that of Harberger, which only leads to economic chaos and violations of human rights...

...slipped out of their Mediterranean base at Toulon. The government claimed they were headed for maneuvers near Crete, but officials suggested that the ships would first "show themselves" off the Tunisian coast. In addition, the French have apparently sent transport planes and helicopters to Tunisia. Washington reinforced Paris' implicit warning to Libya against destabilizing Tunisia. The State Department announced that emergency short-term military aid to the country would be forthcoming in light of its "urgent" situation...
