...Roskam was even more ebullient than usual. "Everybody wins!" he boomed two weeks ago, as he was announcing next year's recipients of some 50 college scholarships from his own imaginative, nonprofit enterprise. The organization, which he set up two years ago in Glen Ellyn, Ill., is called Assistance Ltd. Roskam, an industrial sales executive with a soft spot for small private colleges and young scholars looking for help, finds a school that needs equipment.

Indian officials were quick to dispute the report. "How can Union Carbide disown its own subsidiary?" H.R. Bharadwaj, India's Minister of State for Law and Justice, asked in an interview with the New York Times. (The company holds a 50.9% stake in Union Carbide India Ltd.) "We expected the company would try to palm off the blame," Kamal Pareek, an engineer familiar with the plant, told the paper. "But Union Carbide cannot escape responsibility." Indeed, suits totaling more than $250 billion have been filed against the firm on behalf of the residents of Bhopal...
