My sweat, picking up gas particles clinging to my clothes, burns my skin. Someone from the second floor above the gate pours a bucket of water on us. Blissful reprieve, even if it lasts only a few seconds. Eyes streaming, coughing, choking, spitting, we scrabble at the front door, battling to get through the narrow passageway, back into the madrasah, to safety...

Still, says Dezenhall, who has represented such companies as Procter & Gamble, ExxonMobil, Eli Lilly and GE, "the amount of money spent on crisis management is a drop in the bucket compared to what you might lose." Corporations routinely analyze how political risk or interest-rate risk might affect their bottom line.
