Oh well, would a great way to do that be to try to register as many places as possible as World Heritage? No?

No. The most recent world heritage at Shiretoko in Hokkaido is overtouristed and they're talking about restricting access. So there's no desire to worsen the problem by…

Franklin Raines accepted 90 million in bonuses from Fanny Mae. And then he went to work for Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
