...first glance, Lincoln Electric, the $1 billion Cleveland, Ohio, maker of arc-welding equipment, seems like every other U.S. corporation trying to weather the current economic downturn--heartless. It is slashing overtime, cutting temps and applying an elaborate rating system to assess employee performance. But no matter how bad things get, or how low they score, workers at Lincoln won't flunk...
...homes look like preschool art projects, glued and stapled together from cardboard and plywood and tin. Bootleg power lines drop from overhead wires, loop down to the ground and are held in place by a rock, then snake through the sand to a house. Some wires are live, and arc and spit when it rains. The young women who live here are favored by the maquila bosses for their nimble fingers and obedience.

Against Yale five weeks later, she was given the ball with 20 seconds left and her team facing a three-point deficit. She flawlessly drained the game-tying shot, part of a season-high 27 points on the night. Although, the Crimson lost both games, Peljto's play was promising of things to come...
