...freedom as part of the new enterprise, they are discarding, without ceremony, much of their old ideological baggage. Gone is the once sacred Maoist principle of national self-reliance and independence from outside resources. Chinese managers have heretically embraced such impure capitalist devices as meritocratic promotions and other special treatment for their best and brightest. A people that has traditionally regarded all foreigners as barbarians has opened its gates to the outer world; 530,000 tourists visited the Middle Kingdom last year. So did thousands of capitalists dowsing for new markets and investments in this promising territory. Perhaps...
...appearance, the once robust Bhutto, 50, had lost little of his self-assurance. He told the Supreme Court that his jailers had for a time kept him in a cell next door to 15 screaming "lunatics."

In Waldrep's case, he added, "all that combined to produce the result: the immobile patient has regained ability to move by use of his back muscles...
...matter of law, calling for fines of ?100 (now about $200) for violations. Few businessmen felt intimidated by that paltry penalty, but industry cooperated. Besides the $400 million spent by the water authority for pollution control, private firms have paid out upwards of $200 million for their own treatment plants.
