Dominique Strauss-Kahn Resigns From I.M.F.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn resigned Wednesday as head of the
International Monetary Fund after explosive allegations that
he had sexually attacked a cleaning lady in a midtown
Manhattan hotel room.
His resignation comes just days after he was taken off an Air
France plane at Kennedy International Airport and arrested in
connection with the alleged attack.

firmness all all of the allegations that have been made
against me."
