Interviews and documents paint a picture of the fund as an institution whose sexual norms and customs are markedly different from those of Washington, leaving its female employees vulnerable to harassment. The laws of the United States do not apply inside its walls, and until earlier this month the I.M.F.'s own rules contained an unusual provision that some experts and former officials say has encouraged managers to pursue the women who work for them: "Intimate personal relationships between supervisors and subordinates do not, in themselves, constitute harassment."

"It's sort of like `Pirates of the Caribbean'; the rules are more like guidelines," said Carmen M. Reinhart, a prominent female economist who served as the I.M.F.'s deputy director for research from 2001 to 2003. "That sets the stage, I think, for more risk-taking."

So, driving Miss Daisy... she has been withdrawing for a few months. I took her to the doctor's office, contradicted her on her mood swings, and then encouraged her to go to a concert tonight, then to the senior center monday, to give it a two week trial run.

How about renting a townhouse instead of an apartment?

Why?

From my readings in this case years ago (about the time of the 2d Trial of the Century, O.J.), he definitely should not have been convicted.  He certainly was the victim of inadequate counsel, and almost certainly prosecutorial misconduct.  Probably framed for the murder, with some in the victim's family -- to cover up a family accident or intentional killing -- colluding with police and prosecutors, leading them down a path that involved a completely false kidnapping story.  

One theory I read which seemed to make the most sense as to actual perpetrators: the intentional/accidental killing of the baby might have resulted from the conduct of Lindy's sister-in-law, a woman who seems to have been experiencing some psychological upset at the time of the event, who might have been distraught that it wasn't she, who had first dated Lucky Lindy, instead of her sister, whom the Ace American Flyer and Hero decided to marry.  

Lindy was able to almost single-handedly shape and direct the immediate and subsequent police investigation and had enormous sway over the man supposedly in charge, Norman Schwartzkopf, head of the Jersey State Police and very much star struck, apparently, over Lindbergh.

Gov Hoffman, post-conviction in what was truly a circus atmosphere that worked significantly against the defendant's fair-trial interests, supposedly was suspicious that Hauptmann was the actual killer and came close to taking action in Hauptmann's favor, but ultimately failed to do so, the public being overwhelmingly against upsetting the verdict, and possibly because he was being threatened with outing on some of his own financial, political, personal scandals.

That's my somewhat vague recollection anyway.  Quite a fascinating case, but bottom line, Hauptmann was badly treated by our legal/media system and didn't get a fair trial.

Other famous American defendants clearly not-guilty as charged, framed or railroaded:  Lee Harvey Oswald (murdered conveniently 2 days after his arrest); James Earl Ray; Sirhan; Dr Jeffrey McDonald; Duke Lacrosse players.
