...anything, for as any Asian can testify, the technique of the take has infinite varieties. A stranger at the airport in Vientiane should not be startled if the customs official politely demands a 100-kip "deposit" for the transistor radio in his baggage. In the Philippines, some of the busiest businessmen are the "commuters," people who travel back and forth between Manila and Hong Kong counting on bribed customs officials to let them return with luggage loaded with wristwatches, diamonds or electronic equipment. An applicant for a government contract in New Delhi may find his documents interminably lost between offices...
...artery that is still clogged by Viet Cong terrorism. It is the 30-mile Mang Thit-Nicolai canal, which is the main waterway between the ricelands of the Delta and the rest of Viet Nam. Until only a few years ago, it was one of the country's busiest canals; the villages on its banks were among Viet Nam's most prosperous. But while most of the war was confined to the Central Highlands and the borders of the DMZ, the Viet Cong methodically conquered all but one of the many fortified outposts that guarded the canal.

It has been 25 years since he first whirled across the screen with Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal, and now he is Hollywood's busiest (and only) sextuple threat-dancer, actor, singer, choreographer, producer, director. "I wear so many hats," he says, "that sometimes I forget where I've been and where I'm going." These days he prefers the checkered cap that goes with the director's chair. He has just completed A Guide for the Married Man, a kind of lab course in advanced adultery starring...
Filling those needs, Manpower Inc.'s 191 company-owned offices (another 312 are run by independent franchised operators) have increased sales by 500% to $61 million over the past decade. Much of that growth is the result of a push overseas, and the company's busiest office is in Paris, where Manpower took in $9.1 million last year. On the other hand, Brothers William Russell Kelly, 62, and Richard Kelly, 56, who are chairman and vice chairman of Kelly Services, have kept their girls at home-and apparently for good reason. Kelly leads the field in growth, with...
