They include dollar-dizzy Kuwaiti, secretive Druzes, Gallicized Algerians and Christian Copts.

Andrews, 53, a tall Texan who was general manager of Ford of Germany until he returned to Detroit as the parent company's European vice president in 1965. During seven years on the job in Germany, Andrews launched a period of growth that has seen Ford's share of the German auto market increase from 7% to 18%.
