McCann is sentimental when he calls Eli Black's suicide and the decline of United Fruit a tragedy. He has fastened onto the right image, but for the wrong people: it is unlikely that many tears were shed in Tegucigalpa. Black's plunge from the Pan American Building was the fall of the patriarch, the bringing to earth of the gods; it marks the era of United Fruit's demythification.

But the means of translating this awareness into effective action remains unresolved.

For instance, bank analysts are worried about the soundness of loans that U.S. banks have made to underdeveloped countries, but Bank-America will shed little light on the problem. It will break down its foreign loans into eight major regions of the world, but not by country. Other banks already make available some of the information that BankAmerica now plans to disclose, and release of some other data may soon be compelled by the Securities and Exchange Commission, anyway. The bank has left itself some...
