Foreign money from almost everywhere is flooding into co-op apartments in Manhattan and Miami condominiums, sprawling petrochemical complexes in Houston and quaint dairy farms in Vermont, suburban shopping centers and downtown office buildings and hotels. Capital from overseas is financing the construction of new factories in every region and the takeover of old-line U.S. corporations of every description.
