President George W. Bush proposed that the big, multinational lending institutions do far more for the health and education of people in the world's poorest countries, and with far fewer strings attached. Laying out his goals for the Group of Eight summit meeting that opens in Genoa, Mr. Bush also issued a sharp warning to the thousands of protesters who are expected to flood into the Italian city.
