　　　　　　　For　the　individual　investor　new　to　emerging　markets；　he　or　she　is　best　to　be　in　the　global　emerging　markets　funds　where　there　are　many　companies；　many　countries；　and　diversification　is　very　good。　Because　I　may　love　Hong　Kong　but　the　market　could　change　and　you'd　better　offer　a　diversified　portfolio　because　even　if　Hong　Kong　gets　hit；　you　are　in　man　other　markets。
　　　　　　　You　have　a　Russia　fund。　What's　your　rush　now　investing　in　that　country？
　　　　　　　I　was　in　Russian　two　weeks　ago　and　an　American　businessman　got　shot。　So　I　mean；　sometimes　you　do　find　it　difficult　to　justify　being　there。　But　it's　a　great　country　and　has　a　great　future　in　my　view。
　　　　　　　Should　investors　be　scared　of　emerging　markets；　what　should　they　expect？
　　　　　　Usually　what　I'd　like　to　tell　people　is　look　at　the　fund　you　are　thinking　about　investing　in；　and　look　at　the　last　five　years　and　see　how　far　it's　gone　down　in　its　worst　periods。　And　if　you　are　not　willing　to　accept　that　kind　of　decline；　don't　invest。　And　in　these　emerging　markets；　you　can　look　at　as　much　as　a　30％　decline　in　one　year。
So　you've　got　to　be　ready　for　that　kind　of　volatility。
　　　　　　　Where　are　you　investing　personally？
　　　　　　　In　our　funds？　I've；　I　focus　on　the　emerging　market　funds　and　also　all　the　specialized　funds。　The　most　risky　funds　are　the　ones　I　like。
　　　　　　　Are　you100％　investing　in　the　emerging　markets？
　　　　　　　Yes。　（As）　a　matter　of　fact；　I　am。　Maybe　I　shouldn't　say　this　on　the　air　because　that's　something　that　we　don't　recommend　people　to　do。　You　know；　we　recommend　people　to；　to　be　in　global　funds；　not　only　in　the　emerging　markets　funds。
　　　　　　　But　why；　Why　are　you　100％　invested　in　the　emerging　markets？
　　　　　　　Because　I　think　that　there　the　growths　will　be　the　greatest。　And　I'd　like　to　be　with　the　growths。
　　　　　　　I　just　want　to　point　out　that　Mobius　reiterated　that　he　can　afford　to　put　money　at　risk。　But　for　people　who　can't；　he　recommends　avoiding　emerging　markets　entirely。

He　was　called　the　maestro　of　melo。　He　wroth　the　songs　that　made　us　feel　so　good。　He　even　won　an　Oscar　for　this　one。
Here　I　am　bolding　the　Oscar。　I　have　got　the　Golden　Globe。　This　is　1986。　You've　decided　to　take　a　year　off。　Ten　years　later　we　are　sitting　here。　Thank　you　very　much。　What　happened？
To　lionel　Richie；　the　pop　star　at　the　top　of　this　game；　a　short　break　turned　into　a　lost　decade　filled　with　ersonal　trogedies。　We　visited　hime　at　his　home　high　in　the　Hollywood　Hills　where　he　began　story　as　he　dropped　out　with　a　failing　health　of　his　father　he　so　adored。
There　is　nothing　harder　than　losing　a　parent。　…　Especially　when　you　know　them　as　well　as　I　know　my　father。　Lionel　Richie　Senior　had　been　the　tough　retired　military　dad。
And　then　he　threw　a　curve　ball　and　told　me；　〃Son；　now　you　take　care　of　me　now；　you　hear？〃。　He　was　the　best　in　the　worst　times。　And　had　a　great；　full　life。
How　did　the　death　itself　affect　you？
Fortunately　he　didn't　die　suddenly。　Ah；　in　fact；　when　I　was　growing　up；　ah；　I　used　to　always　put　my　hand　next　to　my　father's　hand　to　see　if　I　was　growing　yet。　…　Oh。
And　of　course；　he　would　always；　his　hand　would　always　be　larger。
Towards　the　end；　Richie　would　have　his　father's　hand　clasping　his　cast　in　bronze。
And　this　is　his　hand？　…　That's　his　hand　on　the　right　and　that's　my　hand　on　the　left。　It　is　the　most　amazing　thing　that　some　days　when　I　just　want　to　come　I　and　I　want　to　just　be　close。　I'll　come　to　hold　his　hand　his　hand；　just　can't　go；　you　know。　Dad；　what　should　I　do　now？
Richie　said　for　those　three　years　he　kept　writing　songs。　He　just　wouldn't　leave　his　father　to　record　them。
But　you　know　that　industry　was　saying；　〃Lionel　was　lost。〃　…　I　know。　I　know。　But　if　someone　said；　you　know；　spending　time　with　your　father　or　your　new　album？　There's　just　no　contest。
Are　you　afraid　of　marriage？　…　I　am　not　afraid；　terrified　is　the　word　now。　…　Did　your　divorce　cost　you　a　lot　of　money？
Oh；　yes　it　did。　But　at　the　same　time；　ah；　I　mean　I　make　it。　…　But　you're　also　notoriously　frugal。　…　Well；　for　those　friends　of　mine　who　said　to　me；　Lionel　has　very　dime　he　every　earned。　I　can　now　tell　them；　now　I　don't。
Lionel　had　been　a　real　rich　guy。　…　Oh；　did　you　say　it？　…　I　did。　…　OK。　…　I　guess　one　can　say；　you　know　that　all　of　us　have　traumas　in　our　lives　and　we　are　all　traumatized　by　these　incidences　we　don't　expect；　like　death　of　parents　and　divorces。　But　we　don't　all　stop　our　careers。
Well；　in　most　cases；　most　of　us　can't　stop　the　careers；　as　I　told　one　guy；　I　could　afford　my　misery。　You　know　I　am　finding　out　that　right　now　I'm　fourteen　years　old。　I　have　got　Nicol。
Nicol；　his　adopted　daughter　from　his　first　marriage；　healing　his　musical　hand　some　melodies　his　latest　release　…　Louder　than　Words　。
Were　you　afraid　you　couldn't　come　back？
No。　I　wasn't　afraid　to　come　back。　The　challenge　was　that　…　will　the　music　be　accepted？　And　in　this　one　new　album　with　Climbing　I　had　a　chance　to　bury　it　if　you　will　You　know；　write　down　my　thoughts　about　this　period　of　my　life　and　put　it　away。
So　what　is　Lionel　Richie's　destiny？　…　I　think　my　job　is　to　be　the　messenger　of　a　very　simple　corny　word　…　love。　I　think　I　was　supposed　to　touch　hearts。

Expensive　land　and　expensive　labor　drove　many　manufacturers　out　of　the　big　cities　during　the　1970's　and　80's；　taking　jobs　and　prosperity　with　them。　But　now　business　leaders；　politicians　and　urban　planners　across　the　country　are　doing　what　it　takes　to　bring　industry　back　and　keep　it　there。　And　as　Betsy　Karetnick　reports　from　Chicago　in　this　week's　cover　story；　it　looks　like　those　efforts　just　might　be　working。
　　　　　　　Chicago's　city　skyline　reflects　years　of　middle　…　western　economic　expansion。　The　city's　financial　services　are　thriving。　The　service　sector　is　growing。　The　unemployment　rate　for　the　metropolitan　area　near　a　historic　low。　But　even　as　a　gleaming　new　sports　stadium　mirrors　that　city's　good　fortune　there　is　one　sector　of　the　economy　that　hasn't　kept　up　…　manufacturing。
　　　　　　　Jenkins：　〃Well；　in　the　wake　of　the；　ah；　huge　restructuring　of　industry；　manufacturing　industry　in　Chicago　the　late　70's；early　80's；　we　lost　a　couple　hundred　thousand　manufacturing　jobs。〃
　　　　　　　Including　a　big　chunk　of　the　country's　meat　and　food　processing　industries；　and　steel　and　metal　manufacturing　jobs。　Say；　economic　renaissance　in　Chicago。　And　nobody　thinks　of　the　city's　manufactures。　But　now　there　is　a　small　but　growing　interest　looking　to　preserve　that　manufacturing　base。　One　of　the　results　has　been　the　creation　of　socalled　industrial　corridors　like　Goose　Island。
　　　　　　　In　an　effort　to　bring　its　economic　miracle　to　tis　factories；　Chicago　has　created　22　industrial　corridors　which　groups　this　base　of　manufactures　by　location。　Cmpanies　work　in　partnership　with　grass　roots　level　developing　groups　and　the　city　government　to　solve　problems　like　transportation　routes。　Industrial　corridors　are　part　of　Chicago's　and　other　cities'　efforts　to　revive　local　economy's　heavy　dependence　on　manufacturing　jobs。
　　　　　　　Bolton：〃Manufacturing　drives　the　service　sector；　the　real　estate　sector；　the　insurance　sector。　No　matter　where　those　jobs　show　up；　you　need　a　manufacturing　base　in　order　to　sustain　it　somewhere。〃
　　　　　　　Sustaining　and　expanding　the　manufacturing　base　is　exactly　what　the　city　government　is　trying　to　do。　Not　only　with　industrial　corridors　but　with　tax　incentives　and　low　…　cost　loans。　City　hall　is　also　providing　dollars　for　business　family　infrastructure。　Consider　Version；　a　few　years　ago　the　company　that　builds　machinery　to　manufacture　metal　components　for　appliances　and　cars　considered　moving　to　the　suburbs。　But　the　city　intervened；　building　roads　and　raising　viaducts　to　make　transportation　easier。　Version　President　Richard　Metzger　says　the　company　grew；adding　jobs　along　the　way。
　　　　　　　Metzger：〃Employment　of　this　company　was　approximately　400　people　in；　uh；　19891990；　in　that　time　range。　Eh；　today　we　are　approximately　700　to　725　people。〃
　　　　　　　Metzger　says　the　company's　location　made　it　easy　to　find　workers。　Urban　developers　say　that　inner　city　work　force　gains　importance　as　labor　markets　get　even　tighter。
　　　　　　　Tilson：〃There　is　an　available　work　force；　ah；　often　with；　ah；　with　specialized　skills；　ah；　that　can　be　very　attractive　to；　ah；　many　different；　ah；　employers。〃
　　　　　　　Still；　a　dedication　to　the　inner　city　can　be　challenging；　as　corrugated　boxer　maker　Pride　Container　found　out　when　he　tried　to　expand。
　　　　　　　Sharfstein：〃There's　not　a　balance　in　my　opinion　of　good　industrial　space　to　support　the　total　needs　of　the　community。〃
　　　　　　　Without　a　suitable　city　location；　Pride　Container　opened　a　satellite　in　the　suburbs。　But　there　may　be　a　bigger　issue　than　space　holding　back　manufacturing's　renassance；　and　that's　the　widely　touted　labor　force。
　　　　　　　Jenkins：〃What　company's　need；ah；　in　manufacturing　is　people　who　are　employable；　which　means　they　have　to　have；　ah；　you　know；　work　ethics；　and　you　know；　show　up　to　work　on　time；　they　have　to　be　drug　…free　and　that's　a　problem。　And　they　need　to　be　trainable。〃
