...executive, David got his entrepreneurial drive from his grandfather, who opened what Neeleman pere claims was the country's first convenience store, on South Street in Salt Lake City. David certainly learned frugality: of the $3,000 his parents sent him during his year on a Mormon mission in Brazil, he saved $1,300. He has retained that trait. He gets around New York City by subway...
...Japanese invasion of European football fields would have been laughable. There were some one-off success stories: Yasuhiko Okudera who played in various divisions in Germany from 1977-86, including the Cologne F.C. side that contested the 1978 Champion's Cup. In the 1990s, Kazuyoshi Miura played briefly for Brazil's Santos and Italy's Genoa. But Japan did not even have its own independent professional circuit until 1993 when the J-League was launched?and even then the competition's brightest play came from over-the-hill foreign players like England's Gary Lineker...
...What we really need is stimulus from the middle-income countries. But several in that category are in renewed crisis?despite having done most of what was asked of them by the IMF.

The interdependent world of Italian finance works in much the same way. Early this month, the automaker Fiat - admittedly, a rather large butterfly - joined in a hostile bid for Montedison, a conglomerate whose far-flung holdings include Italy's largest private-sector electric company. Such transactions would hardly seem to be the stuff of high drama. Yet that one move called into question the power of the élite investment bank Mediobanca - which owns...
...Paulo, Brazil, a survey found, nearly a quarter of city residents routinely change their driving routes to avoid robberies in which thugs stop a car at a light and demand money at gunpoint or force occupants to an ATM. The crime is so pervasive that Brazil has become the world's hottest market for private armored vehicles. And for the largest U.S. armorer--O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt, based in Fairfield, Ohio--times are flush. For about $65,000, O'Gara will take your Cadillac and outfit it with bulletproof glass, high-tensile body plastic, a siren and a slew...
