...interpret in 42 languages, and 150 telephone operators who write 1,000,000 orders a year. Macy's also has a private police force big enough to protect a city the size of Des Moines; it is captained by an ex-FBI agent, who presides over an array of secret photoelectric alarms and six Doberman pinschers, which emerge from their rooftop kennels to patrol the floors after dark...

Nearly 20% of Kirloskar's diesels are sold abroad, from West Germany to California, and from the West Indies to the Persian Gulf. Kirloskar plants also turn out a neatly complementary array of products that range from air compressors to vertical turret lathes, from sluice valves to torque converters. But Kirloskar is proudest of his contribution to the revolution in farm methods that food-shy India so badly needs.
