Such advice has often placed Sachs in a cross fire between U.S. bankers, who oppose large-scale debt forgiveness, and populist foreign critics, who resent his calls for fiscal austerity. Walter Wriston, the former chairman of Citicorp, whose Citibank unit has more than $8 billion in outstanding Latin American loans, calls Sachs "a paid flack for the countries of Latin America." Wriston argues that widespread loan write-offs would prevent Latin countries from receiving new credit.

There have been no documented cases in modern times of wolves attacking people in the U.S. But it is taken as a home truth that wolves will bring federal wolf bureaucrats, whose regulations will drive honest ranchers nuts. Carl Haywood, legislative assistant to Idaho Republican Senator James McClure, says voters fear that the wolf will be used as a surrogate by environmental extremists, whose real agenda is "getting ranchers, miners, loggers and motorized recreationists off public lands...
