...China's extraordinary growth, and have made bets on the future that assume steady, rapid and sustained growth there. Forget about the obvious beneficiaries of the China boom, such as producers of oil and commodities. China's growth is a huge boost to American companies like Procter & Gamble, Caterpillar Tractor and chip-maker Texas Instruments. The beneficiaries also include service companies ranging from law firms and investment banks to environmental consultants...
...left to New Jersey landscaper Marc Torsilieri. For 25 years Torsilieri and his team felled the Norway spruce--usually 80 ft.--plus--and prepared it for moving by hinging lower limbs and scurrying to its upper extremities to tie up delicate branches.

Indians have credibility as managers, says Hemant Luthra, head of the Systems & Automotive Technologies division at Indian car-and-tractor manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra. This was not always so. Luthra remembers visiting Hong Kong in 1991 when India's government was close to bankruptcy. "I had $100 in my pocket and if I went into a watch shop the salesmen would instantly show me the cheapest watches just because I was Indian...
