SCANDAL SWALLOWS SLEAZY SPITZER!


People say that "success and power has its own sex appeal" and yet, this man still had to pay a lot for it.

The very powerful and promising governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, a 48-year-old married man with three teenage daughters, built his political fortress upon the platform of good governance and reform. He went after what he perceived were shady practices and overly generous compensation while paying top dollar to a prostitution service. On Valentines eve, he spent thousands of dollars on a call girl named Kristen at a Washington hotel.

Reports didn't mention if he ever spent close to that much for his wife or daughters, the day after. In addition, Spitzer is also reported to have had past transactions with Kristen and already had accumulated enough "Frequent flier points" and "Preferred customer status" that he was given a permanent customer ID "Client 9".

After being exposed by government tax investigators, he made an apology and hoped that everything will quietly end. However, calls for his political demise are starting to become strong. The battle will probably reach higher levels as his enemies are expected to capitalize on the incident.

For the meantime, he probably should start giving his daughters more generous weekly allowances.

DOHA Round Updates & Preferential Tariffs in Practice

T he DOHA round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations intends to promote the opening of markets and promoting free trade. This April, the latest meeting failed to reach a conclusion. Director-General Pascal Lamy of the World Trade Organization delivered a speech before the US Chamber of Commerce on April 23, 2007. Here are excerpts from his speech. "T oday we know that the Doha Development Round will not be concluded until and unless all these participants are ready to walk the extra mile and table additional contributions to the collective success of this multilateral enterprise. It is clear that the contributions will be linked to the degree of development and wealth of each participant, with the world poorest countries making the smallest contribution. It is also clear that no one will be asked to move first: countries will have to move in concert, like a big orchestra playing to the same tune. For the moment, a group of major actors — the EU, US, Brazil, India — d...
