...continues to add on to a fuel depot capable of holding 50 million gal. Their cement business is booming as black-market millionaires build new homes. The Madsens are doing big business in humanitarian food at their shipping terminal, and they own the country's main beer factory. To exploit lucrative foreign-exchange deals, two of the capital's leading families -- the Acras, who come from Syria, and the Bigios, who are of Jewish descent -- have joined forces to buy the local branch of the National Bank of Paris.
