...Michigan Tech standards, it was a pretty quiet evening. The night before, Tech had beaten Minnesota 5-1 (winning a handsome trophy in the process), and Houghtonians celebrated that by storming the Douglas House hotel and stealing the fire extinguishers. Opposing players have been bombarded with everything from raw eggs to rotten fish, and the wife of Tech's president was so carried away at one game last year that she hit her husband in the eye, smashing his glasses...

All but three of them are deep in the red, and the Kwame Nkrumah Steel Works had to close down after three months because it had used up all of Ghana's scrap iron, its only source of raw material. Government payrolls swelled to an amazing 250,000 people -two-thirds of all salaried workers in Ghana-and corruption was rampant.

...mainly to overcome its raw-materials deficit that Japan, in the name of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, once sent its armies on the march. After World War II, the Japanese turned from the bayonet to the bargaining table in their quest for raw materials, but until fairly recently they have relied mostly on piecemeal purchasing. Now they are moving toward longer-range development projects. Explains Saburo Tanabe, in charge of procurement for the huge Fuji Iron & Steel Co.: "The day of spot purchases is ending.
