The fall of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former chief of International Monetary Fund, is really shameful. The charge of sexual misconduct against him, at a time when he was hoping to contest the French presidential election, was eminently avoidable. Reports suggest that he has indulged in such conduct in the past too. Before a person is appointed to the top post of an institution, his or her conduct should be thoroughly studied. Mr. Strauss-Kahn's political dreams have been shattered.
