...sporty green Mercedes ML 320 in Geneva, Switzerland. The friend was Michael Wilson, then a vice president of Cotecna, the firm that not only employed Kojo but also won millions of dollars in U.N. contracts, including one, signed within two months after the down payment was made, to monitor the oil-for-food program in Iraq. About the same time Wilson's wife bought a car from the Swiss dealer, Kojo Annan wound up paying $39,000 for his Mercedes, getting $15,000 in help from his dad plus a $6,000 "diplomatic" discount by falsely claiming that his father...
...last week a member of Iran's Parliament asked Saeedlou how he could have received a doctorate from an American university when he was supposedly living in Iran. Saeedlou admitted that Hartford (no relation to the University of Hartford) is an online institution. State education authorities in Oregon who monitor so-called diploma mills have had their eye on for-profit Hartford University, which is registered in the tiny Pacific offshore banking haven of Vanuatu and offers courses leading to undergraduate and graduate degrees that can cost thousands of dollars. Saeedlou's diploma didn't do him much good...

They thought the law impeded their efforts since it takes away the ability to monitor and supervise drinking activity...
...opponents of de-listing, is good enough. "The grizzly may be out of intensive care," says Louisa Wilcox of the NRDC, "but it's too early to send it home from the hospital without adequate precautions." In particular, she suggests that the states won't spend enough money to monitor the bears, that efforts to make hunters clean up after themselves won't work and that the trigger mechanisms for relisting the grizzly are inadequate--they don't, for example, kick in when the bears' favorite food supply, the seeds of the whitebark pine, succumbs to disease or insects...
