...joined our London office this summer as one of the interns assisting Robert Jurgrau, business manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Says Jurgrau: "They're helping me revise our strategic plan, and they'll be coming along on a visit to our Amsterdam office next month." Brazilian Mauro Vaisman, a journalism major at the University of Missouri-Columbia, is researching international news stories. Says he: "I thought I would come here and maybe make coffee.

Pictures of children buying drugs or shooting up are quickly dispatched to the parents. The former carabiniere calls his detective agency Magnum P.I., but the joke ends there. "Drugs are a part of everyday life here," says Centracchio.
