...been a tremendous leader, not just for IHI, but also for the entire field of health care improvement,” said A. Blanton Godfrey, IHI’s board chairman, in a statement...
Even for the uninitiated viewer, the ancestral figures truly project the qualities the Maoris attribute to them: ihi (power), wehi (fear) and wana (authority). Often as grotesque as gargoyles, the heads are covered with the distinctive Maori designs used as tattoos. The slanty, abalone-shell eyes are as impenetrable as mirrors. Sometimes a broad-based tongue juts out in the Maori gesture of raging self-assertion. The broad, lumpy body may be scrunched down in the warrior's crouch, or, ready to spring, the fighter may hold a paddle-shaped club designed to strike a blow at an enemy...
Dominating the show by its size (16 ft. 5½ in.) and superabundance of ihi, wehi and wana is the figure that once served as the gateway of Pukeroa pa, a fortified village. Though it is difficult to date most Maori sculpture precisely, this piece was made in the mid-19th century. Less fierce than similar gateway figures, the figure still casts a gaze threatening enough to intimidate any potential thief prowling through the Maori show...
From Liberty to Freedom. "We are not concerned about being the world's biggest single shipbuilder. It doesn't mean a thing if you lose money," says IHI's Taguchi. Company profits are expected to be $12 million in fiscal 1967, up from $8,000,000 in 1966.

Called Freedom ships, the 13,870-ton cargo vessels can be mass-produced at $2.8 million apiece, eventually at the rate...
Versatility has long been the hallmark of the company, which started building commercial vessels in a yard at Tokyo Bay in 1879 and expanded into heavy machinery as Japan industrialized in the following decades. During World War II, Ishikawajima produced destroyers, amphibious tanks, and-something IHI still proudly touts-a jet engine successfully tested in the late spring of 1945. In 1960, a merger with Harima Shipbuilding & Engineering strengthened the shipbuilding operation and put IHI in a position to challenge Mitsubishi, the industry's leader...
