Both the Pearson report and a recent study by the Manhattan-based Committee for Economic Development recommend that much more aid be channeled through multilateral agencies like the World Bank; only 10% flows through such bodies at present.

After he and his wife Anna read Christine's manuscript, Murdoch paid ?20,000 for serialization rights, describing Christine's recounting as "a good lesson to all politicians." A frontpage story accompanying the first installment carried the justification further.
