...first they opened primarily to finance trade between their countries and the U.S., or to serve multinational corporations and people who speak the same language as the bank's officers. Some still cater to an ethnic clientele. But, says Ekkehard Bellinger, executive vice president of the Munich-based Bayerische Hypotheken-und Wechsel-Bank, which opened in New York last summer, "once we are here, it is logical for us to generate our own business with clients who have nothing to do with Germany." Moreover, though they will not say so out loud, some foreign bank officers consider American bankers...
...architecturally interesting; large with good grounds; private and palatial..." conjure up scenes that I have come into contact with. And while I have not lived inside these homes of the very rich, I know how parents with money have worked to provide their children with private school educations that cater to their weaknesses and develop their strengths. To avoid generalizing, there are undoubtedly as many wealthy parents who look after their children's lives with care, as there are those who use their money to escape the obligation of dealing with their children at all.

...hands, and the fans go wild.

Also close by is Casa Alegre, a Latin-American record store which sells Spanish newspapers and statuettes of the saints as a sideline. Around the corner in Central Square is the Latin-O Restaurant. Its authentic Hispanic cuisin attracts a 90 per cent Anglo clientele, however. After all, local Hispanics can buy in the neighborhood bodega the same ingredients the Latin-O uses, and make equally authentic Latin cuisine in their homes...
...towner's must-see list (along with the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building), but it slipped badly in the early 1970s. It was easily overtaken by the glitter and sharp merchandising of trendy Bloomingdale's; Korvettes, Abraham & Straus and Alexander's, which cater to the traditional Macy's budget-type customer, pulled ahead with jazzy promotions. Macy's sales limped along and Wall Street analysts believe the store actually lost money in some years. It did not share in the growth of parent R.H. Macy & Co.'s 74 other stores around...
