Of course what’s coming out now - beyond Lang (and his daughter’s) proximity to Epstein – is Lang’s propensity to lead a life well beyond his means by maintaining a constant stream of activity with wealthy benefactors. The Institut du Monde Arabe merits a more serious president - who knows, maybe even someone with more extensive experience in the Arab world than the last 12 holders of the office, who have not had much! France has plenty of prominent academics, diplomats and other top officials who might the fit the bill – even some of Arab origin!
