...collapse of the GE-Honeywell merger shows that companies that benefit from a global market can now be governed in all they do by any of the countries or regions in which they do business. There's no settled code of rules in the global marketplace, just a haphazard collection of local practices and habits. Still, the GE case is extraordinary. Never before have officials outside the U.S. nixed a merger between two giant American corporations already approved by the DOJ.

"There...

Suddenly, the man with perfect pitch was completely off-key. He seemed to revert to the haphazard rambler I had met in his office. But he found his bearings, began to emphasize certain issues - especially education, where he is well versed - and once again it was good enough, barely...
