THE INTEREST GRAPH

Abracadabra! Ben Sin’s review of Huawei’s newest phone garnered the most hits from our last issue:

“A pilot at an

aircraft company I

manage told me:

‘Go get married.

Your place is in the

kitchen. I’ll pay for

your wedding.’”

“The Honor Magic

combines superb

craftsmanship and

daring, a brainy

beauty.”

“Information and

digital innovation

will determine the

winner. And that’s

the area we are in.”

OUR LIST OF Japan’s 50

richest (April, p. 42) was fa-

vorably reviewed by Vincent

Leguesse III: “Japan always

amazed me when it comes

to avant-garde technology

and similar industries. I

think that we all have a lot

to learn from these success

stories. I’m not saying that

everything is easygoing,

but strategic partnerships

as well as playing our cards

well will ensure a concrete

and positive outcome.” Our

story about the real estate

empire of Indian brothers

Sagar and Atul Chordia (“In

Trump Th ey Trust: Sales-

men of the Subcontinent,”

p. 70) prompted this Web

comment from “Steve”: “Build slum rehabilitation projects fi rst before making a

gold-tinted glass tower.”
