Thomas Wyman is the 6-ft. 3-in. president of Green Giant Co., and since he took over in 1975, he has aimed at revitalizing that famous but slow growing processor of vegetables; this year its sales will approach $500 million.

...devise an economic rescue plan for Zaïre. For a start, the group will raise $100 million to cover the next three months, with $40 million of this amount contributed by the U.S. That may be just the beginning. Bankrupt Zaïre's debts already approach $3 billion, and its chief sources of foreign revenue, the copper and cobalt mines of Shaba, may be shut off for several months as a result of the recent fighting...
