Still, the visitor was special -Susanne Albrecht, 26, Ponto's godchild and the daughter of a Hamburg lawyer who had been his boyhood friend. She was bearing a bouquet of red roses.

His yearlings were paraded six at a time before sharp-eyed trainers searching for tiny flaws: a foot that was slightly crooked, a back...

Kenji Osawa. a Japanese investor, has bought six of the eight hotels managed by Sheraton in Hawaii; Lehndorff Management, the U.S. arm of a Hamburg investment management firm, estimates that foreigners will buy more than $2 billion worth of U.S. real estate this year, with West German investors among the leading purchasers...
