IMF loan to Brazil

As expected, the Bush administration approved a $30 billion IMF emergency loan to Brazil, as chastened Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill wraps up his trip to South America. Financial markets in Brazil and Uruguay have rebounded, but thanks to O'Neill's clumsy past rhetoric and political naivete, nationalist-socialists in Argentina and elsewhere feel fully justified in blaming the U.S. for their woes.

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
