...Ralph takes positions on all issues, and they add up to a fairly conventional left-populist world view. But that bizarrely puts him and Buchanan in just about the same place on, for example, the evils of multinational corporations...
...wonder that Annan's "moral world view" "terrifies the Chinese," "unnerves the Russians" and "bothers the U.S."? Annan confronts some of the world's most evil men and governments with courage, dignity and compassion. Thanks to his father's advice ("Don't crawl"), the Kofi Doctrine that sovereignty is not a shield may well slow the killing in trouble spots around the world.

The reason, says Blinder, is that "the representative centimillionaire in a neutral country like Switzerland or Singapore, sitting down to figure out where to put his last $10 million, is saying, 'The U.S. looks pretty good.'" So the dollars spilled abroad by the trade deficit come right back in the form...
