Last February IMF members agreed to replenish the agency's funds with $43 billion. The IMF already has $26.2 billion in outstanding loans. The U.S. was asked to put up about 19% of the new money, or $8.1 billion. If the U.S. fails to provide its share, other nations, such as Japan, West Germany and France, may back out of the agreement as well. Without new funds, the IMF would run out of cash for loans by the end of the year...
...strength lies in a provision that designates $50 million in scholarships over the next two years for students who plan to go on to teach in either math or science. Such an approach at least attempts to make teaching more lucrative--in the long run the only way to replenish the profession's depleted ranks. Officials predict, though, that even if the bill were to pass the Senate's scrutiny it would inevitably receive a presidential veto because of its tremendous cost...
...about the idea of the citizen-legislator," says Senator Lugar, referring to Baker's vision of responsible representatives in constant touch with the grass roots, who would do their duty and then step aside. Less romantically, Baker, a rich man when he came to the Senate, wants to replenish his personal coffers. His wife of 31 years, Joy, was successfully operated on last year for lung cancer. A pragmatic, contradictory, intensely private man, who once promised, "I'll be a political President, but I will try to ennoble politics," Baker may also have simply found the pressures...
Missiles. The U.S. sold Britain about 100 AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles (for $48,000 apiece). Of 27 Sidewinders fired by Harriers during the war, 23 scored hits. These, however, were most probably British missiles; the U.S.-supplied Sidewinders were apparently used only to replenish inventories in Britain. Also supplied were highly effective laser target indicators for British ground forces and a radar system for the Royal Navy's Sea wolf surface-to-air missiles...
...worse, as they seedily acknowledge. Says one aide, "I'd hoped we could use the springtime to organize for the primary based on our caucus turnout. But now we've got to raise money instead. The whole cycle has been thrown off." Their delusion that this specific fundraiser can replenish O'Neill coffers shows further the futility of the effort. The campaign is currently several thousand in debt, and the candidate has taken out a personal loan. The $50,000 they hope to net from Tuesday's event will hardly provide the impetus needed...
