	[09 Nov 1998]: PRESS BRIEFING ON 1998 WORLD INVESTMENT REPORT
		George Kell, an economist in the Executive Office of the Secretary- General, told correspondents at a Headquarters press briefing today to launch the 1998 World Investment Report, that once again, foreign direct investment (FDI) had hit new record levels in all major country groupings.
		Kell went on to say that those record levels were important because there had been financial crises and many questions about how corporations would react to that had been raised.
		Kell said that "the story here is really that corporations continue to believe that fundamentals are sound, that long-term prospects are good and that short-term behaviour of investors has not been affected by short-term financial flows".

		Kell said old-timers welcomed throwback players Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg to their exclusive fraternity Sunday, particularly when Sandberg peppered his induction speech with allusions to respecting the game, criticism of today's players' vanity and veiled condemnation of steroid use.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - How did George Kell get into the HOF?
		Kell's supposedly a nice guy, nice guys have lots of friends, older nice guys have lots of friends who've gotten themselves into positions of power in their business, and it's no surprise when friends reward friends.
		Kell has a HOF case that is meritorious, and shouldn't be blown off just because he isn't the Nolan Ryan of third baseman.
		While Kell was not the equal of Baker, he was, arguably, equal or superior to both Collins and Traynor, the latter of whom being one of the most overrated HOFers in history.
