Limited leverage: the U.S. has very little say in the Subcontinent

Article Abstract:

The US has little influence in India and Pakistan even as the two countries hint they are ready to test nuclear weapons, further heightening regional tensions. Both countries resent the US, which was an ally of Pakistan during the Cold War but lowered its support due to nuclear proliferation concerns without adequately revising its overall stance in the Subcontinent. Now US President Bill Clinton wants to release to Pakistan money it paid for fighter jets it never received, while retaining the non-proliferation goal.

Star struck

Article Abstract:

The tremendous setbacks some Japanese companies encountered in Hollywood have not discouraged others, though they illustrate the importance of a well-planned alliance. Asia's film and TV industries are expanding thanks to deregulation and satellite TV. To fill the new airtime, US cable operators and others are signing deals with many Asian companies that hope to enter a more exciting, expanding field. At the same time, Asian companies are coming to the US to marry their hardware knowhow with software expertise.

Bargain hunting: Hong Kong investors dip their toes in New York market

Article Abstract:

Li Ka-shing of Hong Kong hopes to gain partial control of a major New York City commercial landlord, and others from the colony seem interested in smaller deals in that mature market. Toronto-based Olympia & York collapsed in 1992, but its US arm has a 10-building portfolio, so Li has joined with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and the Bronfman family to seek control. A rival group led by US investors Leon Black and Jerry Speyer also wants O&Y, whose assets include the World Financial Center.
