Surely nobody is bigger in the "paragon" business than the UN? I cannot answer your question, Nadine. I don't see the UN as a paragon--I never got that vibe from it or about it--so the question just doesn't resonate.

UNreformable? United Nations drops the ball By Alexander Casella Clashing personalties, inept officials and classic bureaucratic obfuscation mark the United Nations' limp investigation into last year's bombing of its headquarters in Baghdad.
