...bareboat business has meant smooth sailing for virtually all concerned. But some storm clouds now loom. The Treasury Department's recent tax-reform proposals would eliminate the investment tax credit and remove other breaks that yacht investors use. Says Sail Belize's Gegg: "If the changes are drastic, they could wipe out our industry and many of the boatbuilding companies as well...
Jarmusch transposes borredoin and disappointment into a deadpan dramatic bass-line that lops along with its loom-pah-loom-pah Sereanun' Jay Hawkins soundtrack. The camera just watches these characters, from above or below like a surreal intruder, or straight-on as though it were positioned behind a one-way mirror. They don't perform; they just are and sometimes they just are not.

Yet from the U.S. perspective, the activity is relatively small. Although bank loans amount to $3.88 billion and stock holdings in South African companies to $7.6 billion, direct investment of U.S. corporations was only $2.3 billion at the end of last year. That is a mere 1% of all U.S. corporate investment abroad...
