"As a little girl, Doria Dee Johnson often asked about the man in the
portrait hanging in an aunt's living room - her great-great-grandfather.
''It's too painful,'' her elderly relatives would say, and they would look
away. "

Why China’s super-rich want to buy here By Phil Mercer, BBC, 28 July 2015 "As the gates of the A$25m ($18.6m) mansion in Sydney swing open, a Rolls Royce sweeps into the driveway. It glides to a stop, its heavy doors open and Tu, a Chinese-born estate agent who makes a living selling Australian property to Chinese buyers, steps out."

Updated: N.C. would 'do anything' for Boeing plant, 7K jobs
News & Record, Greensboro
EMERY P. DALESIO AP Business Writer
"RALEIGH — Assembling one of the largest package of tax breaks and other incentives in North Carolina history earned the state consideration for as many as 7,250 Boeing aircraft manufacturing jobs — but its $683 million offer was dwarfed by Washington state's winning promise of nearly $9 billion in corporate sweeteners.
North Carolina and about 20 other states offered lavish tax breaks, free land and other enticements to land the thousands of jobs needed to build the 777X, a jet designed to be more fuel efficient than Boeing's strong-selling 777 airliner.
Missouri offered up to $1.7 billion over more than two decades. North Carolina, Kansas, Utah, South Carolina and Texas stressed their laws limiting union membership.
North Carolina's pitch — which would have been boosted by local offers — was more than double the largest the state has dangled and successfully landed an employer. Dell Inc. was offered more than $300 million in state and local incentives in 2004 to open a computer assembly plant near Winston-Salem. Most state incentives were never paid, and Dell repaid local governments $26 million in upfront spending after the plant closed in 2010."
