...worked for Chase Manhattan Bank, and Abdul-Rahman Salim Al-Ateeqi, a former Kuwaiti Finance Minister. The company's 12,000 shareholders, none of whom own more than a 0.5% stake, constitute a Who's Who of Middle Eastern tycoons and royalty. The firm's philosophy is to make large, friendly investments, which, so far, have been concentrated in the U.S. and Europe...
Call those meddlesome government officials Mongolia's past and the enterprising Jiguur the future. The present is just as Jiguur experiences it: a country trying, by fits and starts, to make a graceful transition from orthodox communism to something approximating democracy.

In response, the ruling Communist Party has opened Mongolia's doors to foreign investment and ceded its monopoly on power, giving rise to more than a dozen pro-democracy parties. Activists insist that the changes are merely cosmetic. But measured against...
Until now. Computer-aided design and aerospace technology have helped create a new breed of bicycles that make riding safer, easier and a lot more fun.

Mandela's adherence to socialism seems outdated compared with Buthelezi's advocacy of free enterprise. The Zulu chief's repeated calls for compromise are now being loudly echoed by Mandela. And Buthelezi's pioneering Natal-KwaZulu Indaba, a formula for black-white power sharing in local government...
...Inkatha's latest rampages in Natal make a mockery of Buthelezi's desire to be the prince of peace. There is no evidence that Buthelezi personally ordered the attacks, and he has strongly condemned the slaughter. Inkatha leaders claim that the upsurge in violence followed A.N.C. provocations, and in fact the bloodshed erupted in 1987 largely because of the A.N.C.'s determination to wipe out Buthelezi's influence...
