...almost certainly would not. On the other side of the same coin, however, the President's new confidence--even bonhomie, if one may judge from his Christmas chat, has allowed him to brush away British hesitations and French hostility toward the U.N. Congo expedition. For once America has enticed African nationalist sympathy openly, and without fear of allied reproach...
...foreign exchange earned by the Union Miniere and abolishing the Kantangan army, and which Mr. Tshombe will be virtually compelled to accept, is the Secretary-General's own invention. Yet his wording has successfully invited Belgian and British sympathy by clouding over the issue of colonialism which delights African nationalists but infuriates European conservative parliamentarians.

Today, CAT's 17,000 employees operate in 19 Arab, African and Asian countries. Apart from its reputation as a topflight builder, CAT's chief asset is Bustani's keen awareness of the touchy sensitivities of underdeveloped nations. Whenever he enters a new country, he insists on setting up a local subsidiary, encourages local investors to buy stock, and makes it clear that he intends the company to be locally run. Says he: "When we went into Pakistan seven years ago, we sent more than 100 people there from Beirut. Now we have only three Beirut staffers...
