...finally found something the Japanese truly need: made-in-the-U.S.A. management style. It's the brutally honest kind, which has littered boardrooms with the carcasses of middle managers--and incidentally, enabled us to thrive in a viciously competitive global economy. Europeans are now buying it by the caseload, but Japan has been a country in denial. Its tattered stock market and eight-year malaise have left this once feared economy in desperate need of action...
...crimes go, this one could have simply been folded into the sordid caseload of juvenile violence in America. Youth are killed on urban streets every day. Yet this crime, cloaked sensationally in black-on-white, is quickly escalating into a small-town version of the O.J. Simpson case.

At week's end, the New York Times published a shocking internal memo from the Bronx office, dated Nov. 15, 1995, regarding the caseload. "Please encourage your workers to follow this simple mathematical equation," it read. "For every opening you should have two closings/transfers." But children are not numbers. And their suffering cannot be stopped by bureaucratic fiat. "The system is broken and needs to be fixed, but no one has the political will...
