Although Orthodox Judaism shuns doctrinal discussions with Christianity, Falk points out that the great medieval sage Maimonides declared that Christians "will not find in their Torah [the New Testament] anything that conflicts with our Torah." Falk also refers to the commentary of the renowned Polish sage Rabbi Jacob Emden. In a 1757 letter to Polish rabbis, Emden discussed Jesus and Paul as Torah-true missionaries to the Gentiles.

Fokker is run by a troika of joint managing directors: Frits Diepen, 47 (sales and service); Hein During, 58 (finance and administration); Egbert van Emden, 47 (production and development). "Every Monday morning," says Diepen, "we sit down together and are the president." But having three pilots has not stunted Fokker's growth. Its sales have been steadily rising despite The Netherlands' severe labor shortage, are now running at an estimated $125 million a year...
