Wannabbgs

Sadako Ogata: As U.N. high commissioner for refugees, she gets top marks. But would China veto a Japanese?

Kofi Annan: U.S. loves Ghanaian under secretary-general–but Boutros tie is kiss of death.

Olara Otunnu: Former Ugandan foreign minister is a respected intellectual on seminar circuit.

Gro Brundtland: Norwegian P.M. resigned late last month, maybe to run for U.N. job. But she’d be third Scandinavian.

Salim Salim: Tanzanian head of OAU. Double name exposes him to lowbrow ridicule.
