...resident of Thailand since 1946, Thompson had almost singlehanded made Thai silk and its shimmering colors world-renowned, and thus created a major export asset for the grateful Thais. But Thompson was more than a businessman; he was also a collector of Oriental objets d'art who filled his opulent Bangkok home with priceless porcelains and religious figures. He loved to roam through the jungle, searching for old ruins and occasionally kicking up a Buddha's head. One afternoon last week, when his hosts had retired to rest, he left their house without a word and went...
There seems to be no letup in Britain's export of talented kids: first the pop singers, then the clothing designers, now a precocious novelist who will be around for a long time. At 19, Caroline Glyn, a great-granddaughter of Elinor Glyn, is technically a teenager, but in skill and imagination she is a veteran. Her first novel, Don't Knock the Corners Off, was a winning, blithe schoolgirl adventure that knocked all four corners off an English education-and she was 15 when she wrote it. In her third novel, Oldtimer Glyn looks again into...
Banker's Rights. Schiller's move was the price extracted by the Bonn government and a group of West German banks for providing the financing that is urgently needed for $250 million worth of export orders that Krupp has on its books.

Said Deutsche Bank Chief Executive Hermann Abs, Germany's most powerful banker: "It is the noblest right of the banker to say no when he considers the risk exhausted." Abs next took the problem to Bonn. Schiller stepped in quickly, fearing that a crisis at Krupp...
...handy little auto could probably sell even better if the government did not insist that it must be marketed abroad by the state trading organization, Motokov. Pretty good at long-distance peddling, Motokov's Prague-based bureaucrats export an extensive line of products including bicycles, buzzsaws, machine tools and household appliances-far too many items for the sort of sales effort Skoda executives would prefer for the 1000 MB. Says one Skoda man, "Motokov has many very good people, but it isn't ideal to have them sitting far from the factory selling a car they know nothing...
