I read an interesting comment in a book recently: The author wondered why there had been no public financial scandals at the UN-considering the fact even the smallest city in almost any part of the world has had at least 2 or 3 such scandals. How, the author wondered sardonically,had the UN managed to escape ?

The villain in this book was a former UN insider, who had made a huge fortune,and accumulated enormous political clout by providing discreet money laundering for the "Five Per-Centers" who dip their beaks into most aid programs run by the UN.

I got the feeling the author knew exactly what he was talking about, and I was reminded immediately of GEORGE SOROS and the QUANTUM FUND.

(Incidentally,when I think of Soros,another shadowy organization comes to mind : Die Broderbund. )
