George Kennan, from the State Department, then called for the Containment Policy to prevent the spread of Communism. In order to also prevent the…

and “blurred conventional distinctions between peoples, armies and governments....” (Chabal, 2005, pg 19) The concept is that money replaces politics and ideology as the main weapon for war.

However, much to the dismay of my teacher and my parents, the thought of me writing with my left hand must have been…

Even before Claussen began pushing his architectural vision, others were busy designing the inner workings of the plant. Jan Knau, an engineer, was only 27 when he was asked to come up with a flexible assembly line for the factory. Knau, then just a junior associate, contacted BMW’s top 15 assembly engineers. He invited them to a two-day workshop at a BMW retreat near the Austrian Alps. After a series of marathon sessions that included discussions of every facet of the ideal assembly line, Knau…

Neither Dale Carnegie nor the publishers, Simon and Schuster, anticipated more than this modest sale. To their amazement, the book became an overnight sensation, and edition after edition rolled off the presses to keep up with the increasing public demand. Now to Win Friends and InfEuence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers. It touched a nerve and filled a human need that was more than a faddish phenomenon of post-Depression days, as…
