The chairman of Baker & McKenzie, an elite global law firm with 2,400 attorneys in 34 countries, Klotsche decided that the 550 partners in the firm, himself included, did not know enough about how to manage business in today's fast-changing marketplace.

And they're on the move: long confined in the continental U.S. mostly to Louisiana and a handful of other coastal areas, Formosan termites are now happily chewing their way through real estate in 14 states, from Virginia to Hawaii, and causing property damage to the tune of about $1 billion a year...
