...Eisenberg is chairman and major shareholder, is based in Asia House, an elegant office block he built in central Tel Aviv. The corporation has an annual turnover of more than $2.5 billion. United Development does not release such figures but has roughly the same revenues. One of Eisenberg's trade secrets, his associates say, is his extraordinary mind. ''The guy was never in a school of business or anything like that,'' says one ex-staff member. ''He did everything himself. He's exceptionally clever and has an amazing memory.''

Juneau, a brisk, up- all-night little city of 30,000, is the place to visit the Red Dog Saloon at twilight, which falls somewhere around midnight, and see the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, a tiny jewel box built in 1894. It is also a place to catch the scent of fear among businessmen who depend on boomtown prosperity. Alaska's oil boom has busted, but tourism may bail everyone out.
