The U.S. now has $96.9 billion worth of foreign investments and other assets: that is nearly double the $56 billion of foreign holdings in the U.S. American assets abroad range from giant factories to such enterprises as a mink farm recently opened in Korea, a ski lift run by two young expatriates in Berlin, and the two largest ad agencies in Brazil.

Protected by wardens with shotguns from natural predators (mink, otter, kingfishers, mergansers), fattened on fish meal, they are released at the age of a year. The results are astonishing.
