India is like the sands of the desert, where money can disappear like water." Because only "some success stories" can really get his crusade moving, Graham now believes that he must focus on bigger deals first before he can make the thousands of little ones he dreams of. In Bombay he put up $20,000 to match $20,000 in rupees" from Textile-man P. N. Kejriwal...
