...Corned Beef & Roses. All through World War 1 he stayed close to Baruch and learned a thing or two about finances and investing. But in 1918, he quit his job to go "on the bum, mostly because I wanted to find a way to the top." He found it six months later when he met some songwriters in a New York delicatessen. After the patrician manners of Baruch, the tunesmiths looked to him "like a bunch of dumbheads"-until he learned that some of the heads were creating $50,000 worth of songs a year.

...Conakry has yet to get a taste of the milk from cows at the Russian-built dairy at Ditinn, where mosquito nets muffle the lowing of the herd. A West German slaughterhouse in Conakry kills no more than one steer a month, though its capacity is 40 tons of beef a day. Even the East German printing plant-once humming with Sékou's propaganda-has been reduced to printing labels for imported Chinese Communist beer...

Foreign investors have teamed with local entrepreneurs to produce everything from TV sets to insecticides-and a new class of forward-looking managers, such as Businessman (construction, automobile parts) Enrique Pereira, 42, is emerging to "take the country out of the feudal ages for everybody...
...rocklike stability (the guarani at 126 to the dollar has not budged in five years), foreign investment has increased steadily. U.S. firms have spent more than $25 million to build meat-packing plants, a bottled-gas facility, a hydroelectric station and an oil refinery. Last year, exports (mainly beef, lumber and cotton) earned $50 million, 23% more than 1963, and this year may rise another 10%. Some $27 million in Alianza aid has gone into agricultural, educational and communications projects, helped push 1,200 miles of paved roads into the rich but unexploited interior.
