...friends set out by car for a tour of the French countryside. As luck would have it, the car ran out of gas alongside a suburban golf course -so Sobel played his first round dressed in tails and patent leather shoes. Within four years he was good enough to attract the attention of the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, who was looking for somebody to design him a golf course and teach him the game. Sobel packed off to India. "His Royal Highness was a pretty vain fellow," Ross recalls, "so I decided not to push my luck. I laid...

Two of the choicest spots in the area are closely held, closely clubby resorts, both of which make an expensive fetish of informality...
...loans, collections and money transfers for American enterprise. The Chase Bank helped to bankroll Turkey's largest industrial project, the new Eregli Iron and Steel Works; the Bank of America contributed to auto plants in Brazil and France and to the Mangla Dam between India and Pakistan. To attract the rising consumer classes overseas, many of the U.S. banks also offer loans to small borrowers, who often find it impossible to get credit from more conservative local banks and are willing to pay interest charges of 8% to 10% or even more.
