Don't Ask Too Many Questions

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe presented his country's Olympic swimming champion Kirsty Coventry with a prize of 100,000 American dollars which were reportedly packed in a suitcase. Mr. Mugabe, when not distributing gifts, is a ruthless dictator and international pariah whose economic policies have a resulted in an inflation rate north of 2 million percent. That makes foreign currency particularly valuable and Miss Coventry may not want to know the source of the President's largesse. One shudders to think what might have been in the suitcase had she lost.
